The TNVC Multicam Black Friday TNV/PVS-14 Special Package is one of the most unique TNV/PVS-14 packages we’ve ever offered!

These are NOT lower cost Commercial-Grade image intensifiers–they are new production, top-of-the-line DoD rated image intensifiers, similar to the ones used in the Marine Corps’ AN/PVS-31D Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggle, and the Army’s AN/PSQ-42 ENVG-B Fusion Binocular. The 2100+ Minimum FOM greatly exceeds baseline U.S. OMNI VIII minimum standards. These units are in-stock and ready to ship, the sale will last until they are gone, supplies are limited.*

We’re also happy to introduce the Executive Firearms DTNVS Integrated Cable Connector, or DICC, The Second Coming (TSC):

tnvc.com/shop/executive-firearms-tsc-dtnvs-battery-pack-adapter

The DTNVS TSC sells for $420 and is a drop-in replacement for the battery cap on any TNV/DTNVS system that allows the user to power the goggle using an external battery pack, increasing the battery life to over 50 hours.

The DTNVS TSC can be used with any L3Harris BNVD-style battery pack using the OEM BNVD cable, or a LEMO compatible aviator’s style battery pack using the included cable adapter.

As a companion to the release of the DTNVS TSC, we are offering discounts on the AB Night Vision Low Profile Battery Pack Ground Optimized (LPBP-GO), based on the USGI ANVIS Low Profile Battery Pack, but significantly ruggedized, machined from Delrin polymer, and unlike the USGI ANVIS LPBP, able to accept both AA and CR123 batteries, providing the user with multiple different power options.

For Multicam Black Friday, we are offering the AB Night Vision LPBP-GO bundled with our TNVC Mohawk MK 2 Gen. 2 External Battery Pouch and Helmet Accessory Platform, designed for ANVIS-style LPBPs like the LPBP-GO.

The AB Night Vision LPBP-GO is available during our Multicam Black Friday Sale in Black for $325, and FDE for $395, and includes your choice of Mohawk MK 2 Gen. 2 in Black, Coyote Brown, Ranger Green, or Multicam.

Schübeler Technologies Supports Visionary Project of ETH Zurich

Friday, November 26th, 2021

Students realize bionic inspired morphing concept for the aircraft of tomorrow.Rome, NY- A control concept inspired by nature and combined with morphing technology has now been realized by engineering students of ETH Zurich together with aviation experts. The eight-member student team is testing novel control concepts and construction methods in aviation. The aim is to reduce energy consumption and noise generation through reduced drag and to improve the maneuverability of the aircraft.

Schübeler Technologies actively supported this innovative project and provided both engines and technical expertise in an advisory capacity. “By participating in this project, we would like to contribute to the further development of aviation,” explains Daniel Schübeler, Managing Director of Schübeler Technologies. “The visionary approach of Bionic Flying Wing as well as the enthusiasm and creativity of the team excited us.”

The project aims to prove the feasibility of bionic inspired morphing concepts in the air. To this end, a deformable morphing wing structure with a three-meter wingspan was developed to be used in place of discrete flaps. A top speed of up to 100 km/h can be achieved with it. The wing structures are specifically deformed to replace conventional control surfaces. In this way, new design potential for the aircraft of tomorrow is opened up The main challenge of this approach is that the wing must be stiff – i.e., it must not flap – but still be able to be deflected. To achieve both, a healthy compromise had to be found. Because of its high strength and low weight, the team therefore opted for CFRP (carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer) as the construction material.

The requirements for the drive system used were also high. In the search for an efficient impeller that delivers the greatest possible thrust in combination with low power consumption, the team quickly came across EDF market leader Schübeler. On Schübeler’s recommendation, the team decided on the DS-51-AXI HDS model with an 1125kv motor and 12 lipo cells. This drive offers a thrust of 5.5 kg (about 55N) with a current consumption of 85 amps, which was perfectly suited for an aircraft of this speed, size and weight. Two fans are used and provide a total thrust of approximately 11kg (110N)

The HDS fan is a quality product designed for durability. The lightweight and highly shortened rotor assembly provides efficient operation through high smoothness. The blades are made of high-temperature, fiber-reinforced polymer, operate highly efficiently, broadband, and quietly. Strength is provided by the carbon shroud.

In a successful first test flight in June of this year, the team proved that bionic inspired morphing concepts can be used to safely control a flying wing aircraft. This was the product of countless hours of engineering and manufacturing, paired with the support of strong sponsors such as Schübeler Technologies.
