Merlin Accelerates Autonomous Flight Development with Simulator
The company's Certification System Bench means Merlin Pilot can be continuously tested
Flight automation developer Merlin has built its own simulator as a test bench for the technology it is working to introduce on both civil and military aircraft. The company this week announced that it has started using the Certification System Bench for development work at its Boston headquarters.
According to Merlin, the simulator—built from certifiable software and hardware—allows it to keep testing its Merlin Pilot without interruptions during adverse weather conditions or when aircraft are grounded for maintenance. It features cameras that give the company’s distributed global team remote access for tests and also includes three screens representing the flight deck with accurate instrument panels and primary flight displays.
