capability to meet continuously evolving air traffic management
requirements and support maintainability - all of key importance to
owners and operators. From the SmartDeck’s pilot oriented
integration of navigation, communication, surveillance, electronic
charts and moving map functions, to its best-in-class Synthetic
Vision, this Esterline avionics suite delivers an unprecedented
level of functionality and situational awareness to make flying
easier and safer.

The EV-55 is a new-generation, twin-engine turboprop aircraft
designed to replace older utility piston aircraft and offer a more
reliable and powerful alternative to single-engine turboprop
aircraft. Its key features include a spacious and flexible cabin,
offering a variety of configurations that range from 9- to
14-passenger versions, to an all-cargo layout. Its excellent
take-off and landing characteristics allow the aircraft to operate
from short, unpaved strips in hot and high-altitude airport
conditions.
A prototype of the new Evektor EV-55 turboprop made its first
take-off from Kunovice airport in the Czech Republic on June 24,
2011. Evektor will offer the aircraft in several versions:
passenger transport, cargo transport, a combined version with space
for cargo in the cabin forward section and passenger seating in the
rear, as well as search and rescue and surveillance versions for
military applications. (Photos provided by Evektor)
