BendixKing had its new xVue Touch, a primary flight display for experimental aircraft, on display this summer at AirVenture.
The new cockpit technology provides builders and pilots with a powerful and intuitive touchscreen flight display built with superior craftsmanship, at a very affordable price. The new flight display represents a major milestone for BendixKing as its first product specifically launched for experimental category aircraft.
BendixKing’s xVue Touch is a high-quality, touchscreen-enabled primary flight display for experimental aircraft that replaces the traditional six-pack of mechanical instruments. This affordable replacement prominently features a bright and vibrant 10.1-inch display with near-4K resolution, the highest resolution currently available in the industry. The flight display is designed with no moving parts, such as cooling fans, which reduces aircraft weight and maintenance cost.
xVue Touch also comes standard with several features that help increase pilot safety and awareness, especially when flying and landing at night, navigating through bad weather, or approaching unfamiliar airports. The most prominent of those features are Honeywell’s SmartView Synthetic Vision System, a vertical situation display that shows flight path over terrain, and the ability to display Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast weather.
In addition, xVue Touch is an open and connected system, driving the growing role of connectivity in the cockpit. The flight display interfaces with competing navigation systems installed in many aircraft. It also uses Wi-Fi so that pilots can easily update databases, charts and system software in less than 10 minutes. Also included in xVue Touch are free future software updates, which will include engine indicators, radio information and autopilot control.
