About this technology

Overview

CARSRA, a computer program supplied by COSMIC, enables Hamilton Standard to predict the reliability of electronic systems for jet engines. The flight control is fully automatic. With CARSRA, engineers can study a proposed design, predict its operation, and make necessary design modifications. The program is accurate and flexible, and Hamilton Standard has developed a more advanced program based on the COSMIC software.
