M.I.B. project “Modular Iron Bird” is in continuity with the activities performed by Protom in Clean Sky2, specifically in the COSTAR project, which has the scope of developing an innovative kind of smart electromechanical actuators for the RACER Fast Rotorcraft..

MIB Project aims at offering to the small-medium aeronautical manufacturers a flexible test tool to perform engineering or qualification tests, either before the formal equipment qualification or the equipment installation on the first prototype of the aircraft.
Therefore MIB Consortium will define, design and realize a Modular Equipment Test Laboratory able to test the flight controls equipment that are designed to be employed on both General Aviation Aircrafts and UAVs. This tool is specifically tailored to simplify the testing of electromechanical actuators.
