LAU-7/127 Launch Rails

The 1st and 3rd rails from the top are the LAU-127 and LAU-7 rails respectively. Please note that on the LAU-7 rail the after portion contains a fiber wound bottle which was initially filled with N2 to cool the seeker (using an MNGG). The Marotta M-PACT 3000 system now slides into the same connection as the bottle.

The rack at the bottom represents a Triple Ejector Rack know as a TER. This is the rack that we are trying to provide pneumatics on; for Dassault and their Rafale Aircraft.

Day 3

On day 3 RIX met with Parker Aerospace to discuss the potential for providing SABRE and ROTEC like systems to feed nitrogen selection Membranes which would then provide N2 to inert fuel tanks on aircraft such as the BOEING 737. Parker Aerospace has significantly improved their membrane efficiency such that they might become a likely supplier for RIX on an N2 cart.

Additionally, we began discussions to formalize a relationship between Air Liquide France and RIX for the development of ceramic o2 systems. Air Liquide is a potential new partner for our Ceramic Oxygen Generator for the U.S. Navy.

A company from Spain has approached RIX on the development of a ROTEC like system for mission pods on the Spanish F-16 and F-18 Fleets

We hope to be able to take in some of the great flight demonstrations today, especially, the F-18 E/F, which I've yet to see this year. It's always amazing.

It been a great show, more soon.

The A380 was landing as we finished lunch, you really felt like you could touch it. Man, that's a big sucker.
