From neural networks to hypersonic aircraft

Summary form only given, as follows. Accurate Automation Corporation (AAC) has historically specialized in development and application of computational intelligence methods, and has grown a significant application capability in the aircraft/aerospace arena, particularly related to hypersonic flight and adaptive flight controls. AAC is making fundamental theoretical and technological innovations in the new Plasma Aerodynamic Drag Reduction technology, and is making important contributions to flight safety through application of its image compression methods to Cockpit Imagery Recording, and through application of novel ideas about satellite downlinking of video data during emergencies. While these technology developments have been primarily funded via the US government´s SBIR programs, AAC recently received a $3 million private equity investment to prepare for an TO to commercialize the Plasma Aerodynamics and Cockpit Imagery Recorder technologies. An historical overview of the technology developments is given
