Brief Description:  Mock Up of Glass Panel

Here are some actual shots from the Glass Panel instrument installation. All three of the Flight Instruments are running canned playback files so it looks like real flight data. Note that these are currently the Grand Rapids Horizon I 2D HS models, and all will be graded to the new 3D HX models when they become available later in the year.

Each of the three HS/HX displays can show any of the data screens, but I plan to have a layout similar to what is shown here with one primarily displaying engine data, the center display with flight data (HITS ILS approaches are really cool!), and the remaining display showing GPS moving map data with weather and aircraft traffic.

The three shots also highlight the different entertainment modes of the Kenwood DNX8120 system including the Ground Based moving GPS moving map with POI data, DVD Video, MP3 Music/Video from USB attached IPod, and MP3 Music from USB attached hard drive.

Cool?
