Designing valves and manifolds to be used in Unmanned Aircraft provide their owner a unique set of parameters. In addition to the traditional issues of control and regulation of fluid pressure, relieving pressure, bypassing the flow of a fluid, mixing different fluids, controlling thermal properties and restricting, bleeding, dumping or stopping the flow of fuel or other liquids, Unmanned Aircraft systems must be designed to be managed either through autonomous systems or remotely controlled access.
Similar to Military Aircraft, Unmanned Aircraft may have higher pressure requirements and fly at higher altitudes than other types of aircraft. Creating light weight hydraulic and fuel management systems is a key design element.
AUSCO valves and sub-systems are designed and built for consistent performance over a long lifespan. Many UAV missions extend over several days. There is no tolerance for poor performing components. AUSCO valves and manifolds have earned their way onto various UAV platforms.
