Leveraging Marple and InfluxDB: Enhancing Analysis of Regent's Electric Seaglider

Customer

The REGENT Viceroy is a futuristic seaglider designed for coastal travel. It operates just a few meters off the water’s surface, combining the high speed of an airplane with the low operating cost of a boat. This 100% electric vehicle can carry up to 12 passengers and cover distances of up to 180 miles (290 km) at speeds of up to 180 mph. Its purpose? A fast commuter option connecting urban centres and coastal areas.

The challenge

The engineers at Regent Aircraft face several challenges when developing their prototype and conducting flight tests. One of the main challenges is the need to analyze the data generated by their flight simulators and the technology demonstrator aircraft. This data includes information collected from various sensors and systems during test flights. Analyzing this data is crucial for validating the design and performance of the aircraft and ensuring compliance with safety standards set by aircraft regulators.

Additionally, the engineers at Regent Aircraft have a need for visualizing the data in a clear and interactive way. They need to be able to share the results with other engineers and stakeholders involved in the project. Having a visual representation of the data allows them to easily identify patterns, trends, and anomalies, and make informed decisions based on the insights gained from the analysis.
