Honeywell-owned Bendix King last week debuted new integrated flight deck avionics at AERO 2019 in Friedrichshafen.
The AeroVue Touch IFD is an advanced cockpit system that includes three smart high-resolution touchscreen displays suitable for installation in FAR 23 aircraft classes I, II and III.
The new flight deck includes three displays that can each be used independently to fly the aircraft, increasing reliability and safety by providing double and triple redundancy.
The system employs smart display technology that eliminates multiple, separate computing modules by including the electronics into the display itself. This reduces the weight of the system by 30% to 50%, reducing fuel consumption and increasing aircraft range.
“We’re taking a very different technical approach with the AeroVue Touch Integrated Flight Deck,” said Bendix King president Gregg Cohen. “Using smart displays as the basis of our system architecture enables us to create the best possible advanced solution while reducing complexity, weight and cost.”
AeroVue Touch IFD provides operators with a connected cockpit that enables live flight-data streaming to the ground in real time for enhanced search and rescue and flight analysis. It can also eliminate the need to return aircraft to maintenance centers to update navigation charts by allowing operators to update them wirelessly, wherever the aircraft is located.
