XFIA Server

Wingspeed

The Wingspeed XFIA Server is a Windows-based, aircraft grade file server running on an EMX SBC with a 1.6 GHz Pentium M processor housed in a 4MCU chassis. The unit includes a 4-disk RAID 1 array, 2GB Flash drive, an 11-channel 429 bus, an 8-port Ethernet hub, and a removable battery backup. The system also integrates a unique system control board that continuously monitored temperature, humidity, pressure, and acceleration with a separate 16-bit microprocessor. Cooper Perkins designed the system architecture, custom heat sinks, 100-watt power supply, filter boards, specified all the COTS components, and finally integrated all the systems into the final product configuration. The unit recently passed FAA DO160 environmental testing up to 25,000 feet (next revision to 50,000 feet).
