AF Series Redundant Flight Controllers

NO SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE 

The AF Series is a family of vehicle control and management systems with integrated, multiple redundancy solutions - designed to provide safety and reliability assurance in a highly configurable package. 

Schematic of the AF Series system to be inserted here 

Dependent on the model purchased (AF1 or AF3) the AF vehicle controller is able to cope with single failures, several dual or triple failures (the latter might shorten flight time dependent on the nature of the failure). 

The system is able to identify failures such as engine failure and can actively rearrange the thrust and surface characteristics of the remaining control actuators to provide optimal flying capabilities. 

the AF Series have been designed to be modular and scalable making it adaptable to almost any platform. 

Up to 3 independent and isolated CAN Buses 

Up to 3 flight (vehicle) controllers - each with independent sensors and a distributed arbitration system. 

Power protections and redundancy; any power failure is isolated and alternate power provided.
