Previous Work
Airborne Electronic Warfare Support
NX Aviation is a subcontractor providing Electronic Attack pilots and Electronic Warfare Operators aboard specialized Electronic Warfare platforms. These platforms support the US Navy and other DOD customers providing fleet training and red air support.
RF Sensor Testing
NX Aviation used its Beechcraft Baron to fly a customer's proprietary Radio sensor. The Baron is an ideal platform because it's nosecone is RF-transparent and we are able to use the forward baggage compartment to store the radio systems.
Shenandoah Apple Blossom Fly - In
NX Aviation was hired to support a future technologies demonstration during the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival. NX provided the documentation such as the Standard Operating Procedures, Safety Documentation, and Concepts of Operations. NX will provide Aviation Operations support during the event itself as part of the Emergency Operations Center.
IMU/INS Flight Testing
NX Aviation provided first flight and testing support for two (2) new INS systems aboard its BE55 Baron test platform. The project saw 10 hours of flight testing over the course of a week. NX Aviation also developed test plans and flight cards for this event.
UAS Test and Demo Crew
NX Aviation provided a government customer flight test support on a new quadcopter UAS. This project involved NX Aviation completing multiple airworthiness reviews on behalf of the customer and providing a qualified pilot during all flight operations. ​We also advise our customer of impending technologies and regulatory issues that may prevent flight operations, and provide work-around solutions.
VIDAR Test Flights, US and Canada
We used our Beechcraft Baron aircraft to install and fly Sentient Vision's VIDAR system in four locations in North America. The mission was designed to collect boat and ice data that was fed into an AI algorithm. ​This project required multiple regulatory and technical obstacles be overcome, and the NX team was able to surmount each one of them. Once flying, the team encountered weather obstacles during all flight operations but, again, was able to achieve the mission. ​In all, NX Aviation flew 67 flight test hours in Virginia, Florida, Texas and Prince Edward, Canada.
