![]() ![]() In the chart, the condition !u.low_press becomes true, so the substate LO transitions from the Off mode to the Standby mode. For example, to bring the Hydraulic Circuit 1 back online, in the Failure Injection UI, clear the H1 check box and click Update. The fault detection control logic enables the system to recover from a hydraulic circuit failure. The substate LO enters the Off mode and sends the event E to the substate LI.īecause the substate LO is no longer in the Active mode, LI enters the Active mode.īecause the substate LI is now in the active mode, RI enters the Active mode and sends a second event E to the substate RO.Īfter the fault detection systems registers a failure in Hydraulic Circuit 1, the left outer actuator is turned off, the right outer actuator is placed on standby, and the inner actuators are activated. This, together with the ADS-B IN & OUT module embedded in the Veronte Autopilot 4x makes it ready for ATC / UTM integration of eVTOL.The truth table function L_switch broadcasts the event go_off to the substate LO. For this, Veronte Autopilot 4x includes a 4G communications module and Embention is already exploring 5G options. ![]() These aircrafts will be connected to the LTE network for sharing information and getting weather and traffic data. Once all safety aspects for massive eVTOL integration within the controlled airspace occurs, we will get used to seeing eVTOL flying over our heads. This, together with the ADS-B IN & OUT module embedded in the Veronte Autopilot 4x makes it ready for ATC / UTM integration of eVTOL. For this, Veronte Autopilot 4x includes a 4G communications module and Embention is already exploring 5G options. At the same time, Veronte Autopilot 4x can be configured for including custom control modes, such as fully autonomous flight control or fly-by-wire mode. The flexibility given by the Veronte Autopilot 4x provides the aircraft integrator with tools for adapting autopilot performance to the needs of all kinds of eVTOL vehicles (multirotor, tilting rotors, tilting wings, autogyro, hybrids…) without requiring to modify the source code. This process ensures the extended lifetime of the autopilot for eVTOL. Environmental Stress Screening (ESS)processes subjects to all produced autopilot units to vibrations and temperature stress in order to force the early failure of defective units. Embention has set up a set of procedures for ensuring the reliability in the production process. Manufacturing quality assurance is also a must when we talk about safety. It provides a certification datapack including autopilot reliability evidence needed for passing a eVTOL certification process. Veronte Autopilot 4x has been designed according to the DO178C and DO245 aircraft standards for onboard software and hardware design with DAL B compliance level. Quality Assurance from Design to Manufacturingīesides the redundancy, another critical eVTOL safety aspect is the autopilot certification. Even in the event of an arbiter failure, the autopilot will remain operative for eVTOL control. ![]() One of the key factors in Veronte Autopilot 4x is that it has been designed in the way that there is no single point of failure. All this, managed by a dissimilar arbiter microprocessor running voting algorithms for selecting the autopilot core in charge of the eVTOL control at any time. ![]() Veronte Autopilot 4x embeeds three redundant autopilot cores, being possible to connect an external 4th autopilot core for advanced configurations. For this, Embention has brought its wide experience working in the UAV market to deliver Veronte Autopilot 4x for eVTOL, a redundant flight controller ready for eVTOL certification. It is well known that one of the main challenges that the eVTOL systems are facing, is to ensure the reliability of the operation at the time that a reasonable cost per vehicle is kept. EVTOL industry is rising and we are rapidly discovering a wide variety of new eVTOL aircraft designs that will be operative very soon performing manned flights flying over traffic jams and over the cities. ![]()
