At its core, the key to success for the autothrottle that formed the basis for the ThrustSense series from Innovative Solutions & Support was to “design an actuator that was fail-safe—there was no failure, no jamming, and no issues that would cause jamming of the throttle to prevent the pilot from moving the power lever,” said Shahram Askarpour, president of [IS&S.|https://innovative-ss.com/about-iss/[
ThrustSense Autothrottle Moves Up To CJ Series
Key Takeaways:
- Innovative Solutions & Support (IS&S) designed its ThrustSense autothrottle with a fail-safe mechanism, ensuring pilot override capability and primarily enhancing safety by preventing VMC rollover, particularly in engine-out scenarios.
- IS&S is expanding its ThrustSense autothrottle line to include Cessna Citation M2, CJ3, and CJ4 jets, with planned compatibility for various flight decks including Pro Line 21, Pro Line Fusion, and Garmin avionics.
- The system utilizes the Integrated Standby Unit as its controller, offers a configuration adapter for future avionics upgrades, and is projected to cost under $100,000, with orders being taken for early 2022 delivery.
