Shipments Begin September 15, Unlock Power Of WingX, iPad
One of the more amazing bits of technology at Oshkosh was the
coming availability of a small, 5-ounce Attitude and Heading
Reference System (AHRS) for mobile devices, which would allow the
latest version of Hilton Software's WingX to attain not only the
full functionality of a traditional six-pack of instruments, but
even add synthetic vision, when running on Apple's iPad.
Levil Technology Group now reports its mini-AHRS product will
start shipping September 15, in two versions. The basic model
retails for $795, while a more capable version which allows
connection to the aircraft's pitot-static system is $995.
Company founder Ruben Leon explains, "The capabilities of
today’s navigation software for portable devices are simply
unbelievable, yet none of them could provide reliable attitude
information on the iPad. We wanted to create a low-profile,
lightweight and independent AHRS that would essentially complete
the package and provide an additional layer of safety to every
pilot."
AHRS-G mini features an internal battery that lasts over 8 hours
and can be recharged through the mini-USB port or automatically
when hardwired to the aircraft’s electrical system.
Ruben Leon is an experimenter well known in EAA circles for his
early work in glass cockpit technology, and brought the first Twin
Cozy to make an appearance at AirVenture in 1999. Levil Technology
manufactures high-end benchtop CNC milling machines in the US.
