Jumbo Putzi Bug Wiper Drive
Jumbo Putzi Bug Wiper Drive
General Description
Jumbo Putzi Bug Wiper Drive - is a small and rugged drive for glider bug wipers. It was developed to keep the pilot's attention on his principal job and not distract him through the wiping process, providing a simple activation and intrinsic automated wiper control. Furthermore, the drive handles the available battery power economically through its economical design and thus minimizing the energy consumption for a wiper run. The drive principle has already proven its design in use for over ten years on many installations.
The wiper run is supervised by a micro-controller. Only the rope length has to be adjusted once to the wing span. The controller adjusts during operation to the specifics of the installation, many errors are detected automatically, manual configuration is not necessary.
Any wiper wings can be connected to the system, no restrictions are known so far.
- Easy pilot interaction, one-button activation.
- Rugged design and make, no regular service needed.
- Power consumption is no threat to the available avionics battery.
- Small footprint for versatile mounting places (out off the cockpit space).
- Support of two configurable wing spans, on the fly selectable.
- Glass-cockpit integration.
