Aero-News Quote of the Day
"You know, Archie Trammell was the
guy who for many, many years taught people the nuances of using an
onboard radar. And we had him come here and do a class at Avidyne.
We rented him for the day and he came in and he did his whole
class. And this was when we were first starting to do radars.
We don't actually make
the radar, we make the display. So we had all these people making
radar displays, and we had all these brilliant ideas for how we
could take the data coming out of the sensors and show it, and it's
like, 'Is this a good idea or is it not a good idea? We need
somebody who KNOWS something about this stuff.'
So we had him come in
and train all of our engineering and marketing people on what radar
can, and can't, do for you.
And that influenced our future product design. On
how we display -- we take an old radar and we can colorize it, we
can do range eliminating, we can figure out how we can do all this
great stuff with it."

techologies for Avidyne's rapidly growing product
line.
