Ladies and Gentleman 

Team North American Eagle™ is pleased to announce a brand new sponsor to the project. SpaceAge Control will be supplying the project with Miniature Displacement Transducers. 

These all-environment Miniature Displacement Transducers are also referred to as draw wire transducers, string pots, string encoders, cable extension transducers, and yo yo pots. SpaceAge Control position transducers are noted for their small size, rugged performance, accuracy, flexible mounting, and easy installation.  The units supplied to the team are reflective of all their products and are of the absolute highest quality and workmanship.

Data Acquisition Scientist Steve Wallace will be utilizing two of these units to monitor suspension travel and canard movement.  The information will be sent directly to the PCB Piezotronics, Inc / Larson Davis Data Acquisition system that will then send signals to the Rockwell Automation / Allen Bradley Control Logic to actuate canard movement to keep the car in a safe attitude.  The whole process is instantaneous and happens in a matter of milliseconds.

SpaceAge Control products benefit over 900 customers in 20 industries and over 50 countries. Six of the world's seven largest auto manufacturing companies and the world's seven largest aircraft/aerospace companies make extensive use of SpaceAge Control products.  They are approved suppliers to giants like DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Corporation, Honeywell International Inc., Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, BAE SYSTEMS, and The Boeing Company.  Their products are used just about everywhere and include:
