Honeywell demo shows fused SVS/EVS views
Honeywell has given the aviation world its first glimpse of a cockpit technology that developers say will change the way future pilots aviate by combining

Honeywell has given the aviation world its first glimpse of a cockpit technology that developers say will change the way future pilots aviate by combining the views of a synthetic-vision database of obstacles, topography and airports with a forward-looking infrared camera.

Honeywell wasn’t the first avionics manufacturer to explore such a concept–and the company concedes that it probably won’t be the first to bring the technology to ­market–but nonetheless it relished the opportunity to be the first to publicly demonstrate the merging of ­synthetic-vision system (SVS) and enhanced-vision system (EVS) visuals on a business jet primary flight display.
