NI Week 2013, Worldwide Graphical System Design Conference
Ventura Aerospace will be attending NIWeek 2013. Our team looks forward to the great sessions available at the conference this year. We look forward to meeting with industry representatives and others to help each other leverage the amazing tool set that National Instruments has been able to develop.
Learn More about NIWeek
NIWeek delivers technical networking and instruction with interactive sessions by NI R&D engineers and guest lecturers; targeted industry summits; hands-on workshops; exhibitions on the latest advancements in design, research, and test; and keynote presentations from leading technology thought leaders.
Past presenters include Dr. Neil Gershenfeld of MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms, Dr. Michio Kaku of City College of New York, and the late Tim Samaras of Discovery Channel’s Storm Chasers.
Attendees include engineers, scientists, and executives from well-known organizations such as Boeing, CERN, John Deere, ST-Ericsson, and UC Berkeley.
Join us from August 5-8, to learn how you can accelerate productivity, innovation, and discovery with National Instruments.

Fire Suppression Systems Can Remove Threats of Cargo Fires on Aircraft
Bloomberg reports on the call for Pilot Masks for cargo aircraft. Ventura Aerospace agrees that use of full-face oxygen masks and enhanced vision systems will provide an increase in safety. Unfortunately, these devices do not eliminate the real threat of fires, they only provide additional tools and time to deal with the threat.
An aircraft fire suppression system is the only way to effectively deal with these types of tragedies. The first rule of fire fighting is to put the fire out. Without an on board fire suppression system the only way to put the fire out is to land the aircraft. But containment of a fire is simply that, containment.
While containment can buy the flight crew more time, the question becomes how much time for what kind of fire? Battery fire, paper fire, Hazmat fire, what kind do you test for? What kind of fire will you have? Can you contain the worst case battery fire that has propagated to all the freight in a container?
Ventura Aerospace believes that if a fire is suppressed, the flight crew has as much time as they need to land their aircraft safely.
Cargo Facts Symposium 2013 Aircraft Symposium
Join Ventura Aerospace, Inc. at the 2013 Cargo Facts Aircraft Symposium in Seattle Washington. Ventura Aerospace will be sponsoring and attending Cargo Facts 2013 at the Grand Hyatt Seattle on October 21-23.

Ventura Aerospace Develops Custom Pressure and Vacuum Test Unit for Fuel Tanks
Ventura Aerospace has developed a custom pressure and vacuum tester for fuel tanks using a National Instruments sB-RIO and LabVIEW. This unit will control pneumatic valves to cycle the pressure in a fuel tank while measuring pressure and strain data on the fuel tank walls. All wiring and integration of the components was accomplished by our wire harness shop. This particular unit will be used for certification testing and can easily be upgraded for use in production for automated tests.
Ventura Aerospace specializes in aircraft flight testing, structural health monitoring and LabVIEW development.
