For many years, “cinetheodolites” and/or “kineto tracking mounts” have been used to image and track the trajectories of flying objects. This activity has created fleets of impressive hardware ...

Hood Tech has for 8 years built and used passive eddy current sensors for measurement of blade tipclearance and blade tip-timing in turbomachinery. These sensors have delivered excellent data quality ...

We propose to develop key technologies required for a new class of minitaure robotic aircraft. Given successful development of these technologies, a new product based upon these technologies is readi ...

Blade tip sensors are increasingly being used to monitor the behavior, diagnose problems and at times aid in predicting the remaining life of bladed disks in gas turbine engines and steam turbines. T ...

The side looking camera of Sono-buoy launch UAV can be stabilized using a two axis system with limited travel, solid state gyros for feedback and torque motors. This technology is available on Hood T ...

We propose to develop a new class of turbomchinery sensors useful for detection and analysis of turbomachinery blade vibration.

Hood Technology, along with its partner Williams International, propose to develop, test and supply a Non-Intrusive Stress Measurement System (NSMS) designed specifically for small turboshaft engines. ...

Very highly maneuverable remote controlled (RC) aircraft are flown indoors and can be made to hover; these craft can transition from horizontal flight to vertical flight without use of complex gear an ...

Preliminary results have shown that low temperature eddy current sensors can provide excellent resolution for blade tip timing, and have the ability to see ?through the case? of an engine and measure ...

The proposed work would mature a health management system for turbomachinery rotors, in part by running it long-duration on an operating jet engine. The envisioned system, if widely deployed, would sa ...
