Changing the pilot experience The fly-by-wire systems used by Dassault Aviation, Gulfstream Aerospace & Bombardier operate with a flight control computer (FCC) linked to a multi-servo digital #autopilot. Unlike mechanical systems of older aircraft, where a pilot controls every aspect of flight, it’s the computer that takes over once the pilot inputs commands. BAE Systems has designed controls that are customised & intuitive, by relaying pilot input every few milliseconds but are 40% more compact than five years ago. With Textron Aviation it was no surprise that they would sequence through one of its most successful models for next-gen treatment, the Citation CJ3 Gen2 update. Inside, the revised CJ3 looks & feels like a bigger jet than its predecessor, the updated Garmin G3000, coupled with the new GDL 60 #datalink, transforms the pilot’s suite into a connected cockpit. For Dassault the fly-by-wire controls & an advanced situational-awareness system called Falcon Eye are the #cockpit differentiators. Plus, the 6X has paved the way for an even larger wide-body, the ultra-long-range 10X. The Cirrus #flightdeck holds the big reveal, which is the company’s strategy to fully align its piston series (from the SR20 on up) to its SF50 #VisionJet by offering a remarkably similar #piloting experience, with an intuitive interface. The new #avionics are the brains behind a host of #piston-specific tools that #pilots will use to ease workload, navigate on the ground & in the #air, while enhancing comfort along with safety. With context-driven taxi displays, automatic tank switching, & flap-overspeed protection, the Cirrus SR G7 operates more like a #jet. On the other hand with Embraer up front, the optional #Runway Overrun Awareness & Alerting System that enhances stabilised approaches adds an extra layer of protection during a critical phase of #flight. Further, the Flight Stream 510 allows the #pilot to connect portable electronic devices to the #aircraft avionics, thus reducing workload. Not exactly a magic carpet, the general #aviation scene has never been better. #businessjet’s are awesome! #bizjet #bizav https://lnkd.in/dZ7_WVEj
