Accudyne Systems, Inc. designed and built the electrical and mechanical systems for CargoLifter's CL75AC, an air crane capable of lifting and transporting 75 tons. As-built systems were integrated into the airframe onsite in Brand, Germany.

This project had special challenges as it involved engineering many complex systems and then integrating them at a remote location. Here are some of Accudyne's accomplishments:

  • We engineered the ground interface system to
        withstand a hard impact of 240,000 pounds with
        less than a 2.0g load.
  • We developed and refined the CL75AC's
        ballast system consisting of 4 ballast tanks, 2 trim
        tanks, and all of the plumbing to handle over
        100 tons of fresh or salt water.
  • We designed and installed the cover to protect the
        load frame components from the elements using the     innovative FREELOAD-R rolling tarp system     pioneered by the Chameleon company.
  • We designed and installed the power system for
        the CL75AC.
  • We designed and installed the control system for
        the load frame.
  • We developed and programmed the software to run
        and monitor all load frame systems.

The world's largest lighter than air, heavy lift system being tested in the world's largest volume structure. Accudyne did the systems engineering for many aspects of the program including dynamic modeling, ballast design and control, aerodynamic panels and ground impact system.
