Aversan chosen as design partner for WheelTug onboard Aircraft Electric Drive System

Aversan is pleased to announce that it has been selected to design the Cockpit Controller in partnership with WheelTug Limited. Aversan will be responsible for the turnkey development of the Cockpit Controller for the WheelTug System, which enables aircraft to taxi without the use of their engines. Such a system not only reduces costs associated with fuel, engine and brake wear, but also provides passengers with a better experience by reducing time spent on the ground.

Aversan's extensive experience in developing safety-critical systems compliant with DO-178/DO-254 standards was instrumental in WheelTug's partner selection. Aversan is proud to be contributing to a game-changing technology that is sure to enhance everyday airline operations for the betterment of the travelling passenger.

“This partnership highlights our ability to design high-reliability, safety-critical embedded systems for WheelTug's ultimate success. We look forward to working with WheelTug and maintaining a long-term relationship," said Scott Moses, Director of Engineering.

Aversan will be developing the Cockpit Controller for the WheelTug System which will enable pilot control of the aircraft while on the ground using the WheelTug solution.
