All-Electric Aircraft To Feature Avidyne Glass Panel

Aero Electric Aircraft Corp. (AEAC) has selected Avidyne Corporation to collaborate on the development of the avionics panel for the next-generation “Sun Flyer” solar-electric training aircraft being developed by AEAC. 

“The Sun Flyer represents an exciting breakthrough in aviation technology and we are certainly happy to be participating in the development of the avionics and instrumentation for this innovative new trainer,” said Dan Schwinn, CEO of Avidyne Corporation.

“Avidyne is at the forefront in state of the art avionics technology and we look forward to working closely with them on this program,” said George Bye, CEO of AEAC.   “Their low-power, high-fidelity touch-screen displays produce high-definition colors and graphics that are ideally aligned with our next-generation electric propulsion technology.”

AEAC is planning to offer the first certified U.S.-sponsored, practical, all-electric airplane serving the aviation training markets. The company unveiled the single-seat technology demonstrator for its next-generation solar-electric training aircraft and continues to perform initial R&D flight test operations while the first 2-seat prototype Sun Flyer is being assembled. AEAC is licensing technology from PC-Aero and collaborating with Redbird Flight Simulations to offer a comprehensive pilot training system.
