About this technology
Overview
With the help of SBIR contracts from Glenn Research Center, Tucson, Arizona-based Ridgetop Group Inc. has pioneered wireless sensors that can function inside of rotorcraft transmissions. The sensors have a large number of applications, and the data they provide can improve mean time to repair by as much as 50 percent.
