Blackhawk AR-10 Tilt Rotor - Autonomous Test Station

The Blackhawk AR-10 (Pat. Pend.) has been installed for 5 months now at this location. The test cabinet shown has 2 deep-cycle marine batteries wired in series for 24V installed at its base. Two Xantrex C35's are used, one as a charge controller with a diversion load, and the second as a load controller to prevent over-discharge of the batteries. The load controller is capable of cycling the inverter off and on, but requires a relay due to the heavy start-up current of the inverter. Several minor upgrades such as chromoly wing support rods and teflon sleeving on the push-pull rods where they pass through the guides, have given us a very robust system we feel can run for several years without maintenance in the coldest and hottest environments.
