Dynamic Non-Linear Display (DNLD) Flight Instruments

It might come as a surprise that the modern aviation tape altimeter does not show the ground until the aircraft is below approximately 500 ft. Or that the altitude predictors and preselected altitude values "park" at the edge of the display, saturated, during normal climbs and descents, only flash by in seconds when the aircraft passes the preselected value.

Benchtop Accuracy Tweezer LCR Meter for Mission Critical Aerospace & Defense MRO

The LCR Reader MPB from Siborg Systems Inc. is a 36 g tweezers style LCR/multimeter that brings benchtop grade measurement performance into aerospace and defense maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO). It closes the gap between large, expensive benchtop LCR meters and traditional handheld instruments that lack the precision, frequency range, connectivity, and calibration traceability required for mission critical electronics.

On the Development of a High-altitude System for the Launch of a Reuseable Satellite Tow Vehicle

This design proposes a cost-effective, reusable satellite launch system that combines a high-altitude balloon lift (rockoon) with a novel oblique-wing first stage and skip re-entry procedure to overcome the prohibitive costs, slow turnaround times, and infrastructure demands of traditional rockets. The system lifts a 36–40 metric ton vehicle via ten balloons to 36 km,
