Company Reaches Milestone Of 500 Installed Displays
Aspen Avionics has enjoyed overwhelming market acceptance of its Evolution Flight Display System for helicopters, the company announced Monday at Heli-Expo in Orlando, FL. The company has sold over 500 Evolution Flight Displays to both Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and in the aftermarket.
In addition to being a factory option for Robinson’s R22, R44 Raven I, R44 Raven II, and R66 helicopters, 13 STCs produced by avionics shops in both North America and Europe have been engineered for Aspen glass display installations on 60 helicopter models.
“The helicopter market is realizing the safety-enhancing benefits of Aspen’s glass panel technology,” said Mark Ferrari, vice president of sales and customer support. “The combination of digital ADAHRS reliability, affordable pricing and robust features that increase a pilot’s situational awareness and safety is what makes the Evolution Flight Display System a compelling solution for helicopter operators,” continued Ferrari.
