Honeywell’s BendixKing division is supplying key elements for the flight deck of Eviation’s Alice electric aircraft, including touchscreen displays, a synthetic vision system, and compact fly-by-wire flight controls. The equipment selection was confirmed on July 28 as Eviation prepares the Alice prototype for a first flight by the end of this year.

The BendixKing AeroVue Touch package will act as both the primary and multifunction flight display, incorporating Honeywell’s SmartView synthetic vision system as well as a moving map, aeronautical charts, traffic, and weather, and a vertical situation display. This is all contained within a 10.1-inch touchscreen that the avionics group says has near-4K resolution, providing 16.7 million colors with 1,000 nits of luminescence and an 800:1 contrast ratio.
