Flight Control: CONDUIT®

News

February 5, 2009 - The CONDUIT® team is having a 3-day training course from March 24 to 26, 2009 at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara.

It's been over seven years since our last CONDUIT® training class. Since then, we have made many improvements to the engineering methods and software based on excellent suggestions from our (growing) user community and our own applications. This 3-day, hands-on training course will cover the flight control engineering and optimization concepts of CONDUIT® software functionality, and illustrative results from several detailed case studies.

Seats for the class will be limited to current CONDUIT® license holders only, and will be made available on a first come, first serve basis. We are currently planning for no more than 2 attendees per site, and will try to accommodate more on a space available basis if seats are available. If you are interested in, or are in the process of, acquiring the software, please try to expedite the procurement in order to be qualified for attending the class. If you would like to attend the class, please contact Robie Remple.
