Aspen Avionics has announced a partnership with engine instrumentation manufacturer Electronics International to integrate engine instruments into Aspen displays. This development aligns with Aspen’s objective of enabling customers to continually update their displays to enhance functionality.
The Aspen Evolution primary flight display, introduced two decades ago, offered a novel method for upgrading older instrument panels. The glass display fits into and over two common 3.25-inch instrument holes, eliminating the need for extensive modifications while providing aircraft owners with the benefits of a glass cockpit at a relatively reasonable price.
“We have kept with the hardware that can be used and reused,” said Aspen president and CEO John Uczekaj. “We haven’t succumbed to the bright shiny object avionics world where you’re constantly changing platforms and forcing the customer to swap out for new hardware. We will continue to stay true to our roots, which is our Aspen platform.”
