The maiden flight for Embraer's new EMB-170 regional jet in February 2002 went off without a hitch, and Opal-RT's technologies were "on board" in their on-ground telemetry station, to perform real-time in-flight, as wel= l as post-flight, processing and analysis of the flight-test data. RT-LAB was used in conjunction with high-fidelity models of the aircraft flight dynamics and control systems, and DINAMO, a specialized tool for aircraft flight analysis from Opal-RT, was used for configuring the model= s for controlling simulations and comparing them to flight test data. The design of the EMB-170, described by Embraer's President, Mauricio Botelho as "the most complex and challenging program we've ever developed= ", is the first to use fly-by-wire technology (computer-controlled, electric= al primary flight controls) on a regional jet, a feature that is used only o= n advanced military aircraft and large transport jets. According to a recent communiqu=E9 from Embraer, the use of digital model= ing and virtual reality "...contributes to the reduction of costs and development cycles, as well as costly and time-consuming changes later in the program". Real-time technologies from Opal-RT have played a role in t= he success of the design and test stages of the program. According to Opal-RT's Director of Aerospace Modeling and Simulation Division, Dr. Sergio Cavalcanti, who was present at the first test, "this has been a very exciting time for my team, as well as the design team at Embraer. It demonstrates that RT-LAB and DINAMO can give engineers the performance they need when it matters the most."
