A Wind River Case Study
AgustaWestland, an aerospace and defense company, faced the challenge of designing, building, and testing an innovative, all-electric, unmanned tilt rotor aircraft in a record time of just six months. To achieve this ambitious goal for its Project Zero initiative, AgustaWestland turned to vendor Wind River for its industry-leading technology.
Wind River provided its VxWorks 653 Platform to serve as the high-performance and reliable integrated modular avionics foundation for the aircraft's flight control computer. This solution minimized program risks and helped reduce overall development and deployment time. By leveraging this mature platform and high-quality software stack, Wind River enabled AgustaWestland to successfully deliver the futuristic aircraft in record time.
