Bird Strike Simulator

Davis designed and built a "birdgun" for Pratt & Whitney to simulate the situation of a collision between birds and jet engines and to measure the resulting effects on those engines.

Potable Water Tanks (1996-present)

One of the newer products by Davis is the potable water tank for business and commercial jets. We can produce tanks from either stainless steel or titanium to hold cold or hot potable water. Tank size can range from one US gallon to over 200 US gallons.

Hail Storm Simulator (1995, 2000)

Davis has designed, built and delivered two hailstorm simulators; one to Pratt & Whitney in November of 1995 and one to the National Research Council of Canada in November of 2000. The Hailstorm Simulator was used to fire thousands of 5/8 inch ice balls into a running jet engine (testing its performance when subjected to these weather conditions).

MSAT/Radarsat Containers (1991-92)

Spar Aerospace required two shipping containers to transport their satellites. For Radarsat, we modified an existing container to accept their new spacecraft and fabricated all new internal support frames. For MSAT, we designed and built a completely new fiberglass shell.

Helicopter Exhaust Systems (1990-present)

Davis has applied the same principle behind ship exhaust systems to aircraft, such as helicopters. Our Film Cooled Tailpipe (FCT) and Centre Body Tailpipe (CBT) suppress the infrared signature emitted by the helicopter's engine.

Motion Exhibit at Expo

With Expo in Vancouver, Davis was required to design and build four, fifty feet high, exhibits. The structures represented four different types of motion: Uniform, Acceleration, Circular and Oscillatory.

Active Shaft Grounding (1984-present)

The purpose of ASG is to suppress the electromagnetic signature emitted by ships or submarines. This is one of our primary electronic products. We have sold ASG to many ship programs as well as the US Seawolf Submarine.

Ship Exhaust Systems (1982-present)

Davis has designed and built systems to outfit not only the Canadian Navy, but many Navies throughout the world. Our ship exhaust systems (i.e. Eductor/Diffuser and DRES-Ball) help suppress the heat or infrared signature emitted by a ship's engines. Davis' equipment in this industry is now standard on most new Naval ship build programs.

Wave Generating Machines (1982-present)

Davis' first wave generating machine was built in 1982 and used for Ocean Research. Installations of our wave generators have been made in Spain, France, Korea, Taiwan, The United States, and Canada. Davis is currently recognized as one of the world leaders in wave generation.

Military Shelter Kitting (1979-93)

This project involved the designing, building and installing of all the interior components. During the span of these fourteen years, upwards of 300 shelters and trailers were outfitted.

Vehicle Test Equipment

Davis won a contract to build sophisticated vehicle test equipment. The equipment possessed the ability to maneuver a speeding vehicle down a test track and slam it into a solid concrete wall. The procedure was also performed on a school bus.

Vehicle Compliance Testing

Davis performed Brake Compliance testing for Transport Canada. This procedure required our engineers to instrument test and evaluate the brake systems on new model cars.
