Aircraft engines incorporate numerous sensors to measure their operating parameters, both in the immediate sense of electronic performance control and, in the longer term, to control engine health. The same or separate sensors can serve these two functions. Many of the control sensors additionally provide signals to the cockpit indicators that inform the pilot of the engine condition when adjusting the controls to request more or less engine power. The sensors are mounted on or inside the motor and therefore experience very severe environmental conditions. The apparent simplicity of some of these sensors disproves the considerable experience required to design, manufacture and test them to meet such demanding operating conditions in accordance with the high specification standards set by the aeronautical engine and the aviation industries.
Engine, propulsion and space sensors provide critical measurements for flight control and engine systems. Innovative technologies offer solutions for clean, efficient, reliable and cost-effective engine operation for military and commercial aircraft. The products span the entire engine, from inlet to exhaust, and provide solutions for temperature, velocity, pressure and fluid level measurement in extreme aerospace environments. The products are designed to meet stringent and demanding temperature requirements. Temperature ratings range from -452 ° F to 1832 ° F (-269 ° C to + 1000 ° C), critical for use in space vehicles and high-performance propulsion systems. SIS continues to advance sensor technology with innovative aircraft-wide measures that promote performance and safety in the most difficult flight conditions.
