Signal compression technology enables E-Fan's flight, potential enhanced ‘black box’ possibilities

V-Nova Ltd. demonstrated the capabilities of its PERSEUS data compression technology for aerospace applications as part of Airbus' all-electric E-Fan technology demonstrator aircraft's flight across the English Channel.

During the flight, PERSEUS enabled up- and downstream HD (high-definition, 720p 25 frames/sec) video telemetry over standard, publically accessible 3G mobile networks, with a more than 80% bandwidth reduction compared to traditional technology under similar conditions, said V-Nova.
