After nearly three decades of developing avionics systems and flight deck displays for general aviation airplanes, Avidyne is branching out into the advanced air mobility (AAM) industry with what it claims is an entirely new approach through its open avionics platform called Quantum. 

For the past five or six years, Avidyne has been in discussions with dozens of AAM start-ups looking to incorporate the company’s avionics technology into a variety of novel aircraft, such as eVTOL vehicles, hybrid-electric designs, and aircraft with autonomous flight capabilities.
