COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM SWITCH PANEL
Challenge: To create a collision avoidance system control panel which allows air traffic control to identify aircraft by receiving a pre-selected coded signal from each aircraft in the vicinity. Envelope size is critical due to limited space, and the design has to allow for access by authorized ground crew personnel only.
Solution:
Designed and built to meet the most stringent customer requirements, the
resulting switch panel incorporates 22 "EB45" Series Rotary Switches
and related components in a single, integrated panel mounting tamper-proof
case. Each binary coded rotary switch sets an individual number of a pre-determined
code using a unique knob design which allows only the selected number to
appear. Now fitted to all Airbus widebody aircraft and Fokker jet aircraft.
