Price Induction SA informs of the signature of a commercial agreement with AVIC INTERNATIONAL HOLDING CORPORATION (AVIC INTL) to promote the sales of its WESTT solutions in the Chinese market.The WESTT products are educational tools dedicated to the equipment of aeronautical engineering universities and schools. They are designed and manufactured by Price Induction. 

This temporary agreement has been signed as a first step towards the establishment of a permanent structure by Price Induction in China.

 The range of engines developed by Price Induction, the DGEN 380/390 or the ARAM 390, represents one of the ways of modernizing general aviation’s travel planes and air taxi planes. Offering reliable and affordable turbines and in particular turbofan with high and very high bypass ratios is actually required to modernize the offer on this market. The WESTT solutions are directly derived from all this development work.

 The Chinese market represents significant opportunities for these products, with dozens of potential clients for the WESTT BR and WESTT SEV, which are real test benches,and for the WESTT CS/BV virtual test bench.

AVIC INTL,which has set itself the objective, among others, to stimulate general aviation both on its domestic market and ...

At Aero 2012 in Friedrichshafen, the DGEN 380 was selected as one of the most interesting engines on display during the video report on aircrafts powerplants sponsored by the German Fliegermagazin and made by Thomas Borchert their editor.

Our DGEN380 engine appears after 3min37s on the following video.

Price Induction Brasil signed the first sales contract of a Virtual Turbofan Engine Test Bench Westt CS/BV for the traditional flight school EWM, located in São Paulo.

Ffounded thirty years ago and chaired by Commander Felipe Wagner, this school is recognized as one of the best aviation schools in the country for its quality standards, using modern equipment and for the high technical level of its professionals. The CS/BV Bench will be used in courses of aircraft maintenance and pilot formation offered by the school.

It is expected that students of EWM start training on the bench in August 2012. The Price Induction Westt Solutions (Whole Engine Simulator Turbine Technology) were specially designed for teaching purposes and are the result of over ten years of experience in design and manufacture of aeronautical turbines.

They already equip many top universities in France (Arts et Métiers Paris Tech, Centre de Bordeaux – Talence, IPB/Einserb – Matmeca e Université de Bordeaux 1/CR-IMA ) and now, with the first sale contract signed with EWM, they start to penetrate the Brazilian market.

A first virtual engine bench WESTT CS/BV was installed and successfully booted up in Germany by Price Induction SA in  its newly created subsidiary’s office in the Berlin-Adlershof technology park.

Engine virtual test bench WESTT CS/BV developed by Price Induction

Price Induction GmbH is now ready to welcome the teachers, training staff, researchers and students who have an interest in a demonstration of the WESTT CS/BV station. This engine simulation bench is a highly innovative and interactive tool with numerous educational applications such as control theory, regulation, thermodynamics, aerodynamics, embedded electronics and general turbomachinery.

With this demonstration area, Price Induction GmbH’s mission is to promote and distribute the whole line of products developed by its parent company, specifically including the WESTT products range (Whole Engine Simulator Turbine Technology), which already equip many universities in France and contribute to the DGEN engine’s growing recognition in Europe.

Since the end of April, Price Induction moved its head office to a new 1500m² building. Additional space was required to cope with the company growth as well as with the preparation of the DGEN engine production launch.

Price Induction has also taken advantage of this move to set up a demonstration space dedicated to its WESTT solutions.

This space is equipped with a virtual test bench (WESTT BV) and a engine assembling/disassembling station (WESTT SEV).

The demonstrations of our real engine test bench (WESTT BR) will still take place in the neighbouring site of Tarnos.

Do not hesitate to contact  the sales manager of your area if you would like to visit us and test these solutions.

From July 25 to July 31, Price Induction will be exhibiting the DGEN 380 in its latest integrated version at EAA AirVenture 2011 international show in Oshkosh, WI. This is the very first time this engine is to be on display outside of Europe at an airshow. Price Induction is very proud that EAA AirVenture Oshkosh can be home of this exciting event.

It follows the creation of an American subsidiary, Price Induction, Inc., opened in Atlanta, GA in August of 2010. It shows the company’s commitment to the American market, which is the first general aviation market in the world.

The DGEN 380 has just finished its first endurance test, going through a 150 hours block under severe conditions:This performance is all the more remarkable as it was achieved with an engine set to maximum thrust - more than 5 % greater than the specification. The engine is now ready to fly, and Price Induction will be looking for its first application during the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.

Designers are welcome to introduce their projects during the week, and come chat with Price Induction engineer team who will be present at all time at the booth.

EAA AirVenture Oshkosh will ...

Price Induction will be at the 2011 Paris Air Show (Salon du Bourget) from June 20th to 26th in hall 3. The main booth will give you a chance to discover or re-discover the DGEN 380, first turbofan optimized for general aviation.

For this 2011 edition, Price Induction will dedicate a whole booth to the complete WESTT product line including:

• a live demonstration of the WESTT CS/BV virtual bench,
• a demonstration of the WESTT SE, an turbofan assembling/disassembling teaching station,
• a presentation of the WESTT BR, real engine test bed.

This event will be a great opportunity for teachers, researchers, students and other to discover these innovative teaching and research products. Price Induction is awaiting all of you on the E30 and E40 stands in hall 3!

The company Price Induction SA announces the successfull achievement of a particularly severe endurance test, undergone by its DGEN 380 turbofan engine, which has been developed for several years, in its current integrated version A7-A.

This test was achieved on the new B 64 test bench set up in Tarnos (40) in accordance with the CS-E requirement rules and lasted 150 hours.

This performance is all the more remarkable as it was achieved with an engine set to maximum thrust, more than 5 % greater than the specification.

This success rewards more than 10 years of efforts from our entire technical team, constituted of young engineers, actively supported by senior experts who have been patiently giving sound advice from their past strong experience.

This milestone reveals the bright technical future of this engine and should lead to the launch of its type certification.

Until then, Price Induction will pursue its marketing efforts to trigger the launch of PLJ type aircraft programs by aircraft manufacturers as well as the production of a flying demonstrator.

Indeed, it aggregates in Aquitaine the engineering schools (IPB/ENSEIRB-MATMECA, Arts et Métiers Paris Tech Centre of Bordeaux-Talence, ESTIA…), Bordeaux 1 University (CR-IMA), Jean Taris de Peyehorade Highschool, Bordeaux Aéroparc and research labs in Bordeaux around an extremely innovative project in terms of research, collaborative-development, technologic transfer as well as educational potential on the aeronautic « turbofan » engines designed in the Aquitaine Region by Price Induction.

The WESTT general configuration adopted by the AEROfan partners is the following:

-          IPB/ENSEIRB-MATMECA : WESTT CS/BV, virtual engine bench

-          Arts et Métiers Paris Tech Centre de Bordeaux Talence : WESTT SEV, engine assembling/disassembling station

-           Université Bordeaux 1, CR-IMA (Centre de Ressources ...

Price Induction Inc. has opened a new exhibition space six months after opening its North Atlanta office. A WESTT CS/BV station is now operational and is available to educational institutions, research facilities and other interested parties to test drive the latest advanced solutions from the WESTT catalog. The CS/BV virtual bench is an advanced, innovative and interactive simulation teaching tool for various educational fields including control theory and thermodynamics.
