Software Company Founder Thinks iPad Could Become Defacto Glass
Panel For LSA
Hilton Software LLC announced another milestone in what it
calls "the WingX iPad revolution" with the debut of
Geo-Referenced Approach Charts. The company says WingX Pro7
Version 4.1 brings considerable power, flexibility, and ease-of-use
to pilots and reduces the cost well below that of dedicated GPS
hardware.
Dr. Hilton Goldstein, founder of Hilton Software, says “My
vision for the company is to provide affordable systems that rival
and in many case surpass dedicated hardware units from the big-name
GPS companies. I predict WingX Pro7 will start a trend,
particularly in the LSA market, of aircraft manufacturers mounting
an iPad on the panel instead of installing a much more expensive
in-panel unit costing thousands of dollars."
"The side-byside display of the Geo-Referenced Approach Charts
and the Terrain-Aware Moving Map in WingX Pro7 Version 4.1 provides
incredible situational awareness," he continued. "The seamless
integration of Seattle Avionics ChartData enables WingX Pro7 to
show the aircraft’s position on an approach chart that is
easily pannable and pinch zoomable. Having flown with WingX Pro7, I
cannot imagine going back to using a dedicated GPS device with
switches, knobs, and user manuals.”
WingX Pro7 also features an extensive A/FD, AOPA Directory with
Yelp Integration, all the NACO/AeroNav approach charts on-board,
our patented SmartTaxi technology, weather information, animated
weather graphics, advanced route planning, superb DUATS
integration, and much more.
WingX products run on iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Android,
BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile.
