MTS helps a leading helicopter manufacturer add cutting-edge
digital control capabilities to the complex, proprietary data
acquisition and command system in use at its test lab.

Leaders at the Bell Helicopter mechanical testing facility in Fort
Worth, Texas, knew that improving their test lab’s productivity
required a control technology upgrade. Switching out control
platforms, however, seemed a complex and daunting prospect as the
new system would have to function within the proprietary data
acquisition and command system already in use at the facility. Don Ross, a test engineer at Bell Helicopter, discusses how MTS helped Bell Helicopter seamlessly integrate the latest digital control technology into its existing data acquisition and command system, simplifying test setups and improving control system reliability.
