Avidyne has partnered with Daedalean, a Zurich-based company focused on artificial intelligence (AI) applications for the aerospace industry, to develop AI-based avionics to assist pilots and eventually lead to autonomous operations. Dan Schwinn, Avidyne president and CEO, told AIN that the company’s, and perhaps the industry’s, first AI-based avionics product—a see-and-avoid system—will gain FAA certification next year.
