Avilution founder Mark Spencer wants aircraft manufacturers to have more control of their avionics interfaces.

An Eclipse 500 very light jet is now flying with an upgraded air data computer (ADC) developed by Resurgent Aviation Solutions and using Avilution’s eXtensible Flight System (XFS) software. This is the first FAA-approved use of XFS, according to Avilution, and offers “an efficient solution for upgrading older aircraft like the Eclipse 500 to meet modern standards.”

Integration of hardware components into the ADC upgrade was done by Skytron Avionics, and this work will help keep Eclipse 500s flying with a modern ADC solution.
