Panel Possibilities Range From LSA To eVTOL Aircraft
For the most part, pilots care about the information being presented to them rather than how that information arrives at the panel. That's the assessment of Avilution founder Mark Spencer, who says that the company is working towards making panels that are custom to an aircraft and the type of flying that particular pilot and aircraft are going to do.

High winds at the SpaceX launch complex in Texas blew over the "test hopper" rocket that is a prototype of the spacecraft the company hopes will one day carry people to Mars. Winds gusting to more than 50 miles per hour blew the upper section of the rocket to the ground. SpaceX founder Elon Musk says the damage will take "weeks" to repair. The prototype was never intended to be launched into orbit, but rather to conduct a series of test flights to altitudes of up to 16,400 feet. The portion
