Avionics For Sale

A single aircraft or spacecraft can use hundreds of avionics systems from a simple search light installed in a police chopper to an early warning system to detect eneymy missiles in military aircraft.

The History of Avionics

The term avionics wasn't used widely until the early part of 1970. Before that time, aircraft instruments are all mechanical and didn't use electronics. It was the military that pioneered avionics in the 1970s with its ever growing need to make a huge number of electronics to work together in a single aircraft. Avionics usually take the lions share in the budget in aircraft development. Cost of avionics in non-military aircraft also shot up in cost.

Aircraft Avionics

The cockpit of an aircraft is a major location for avionic equipment, including control, monitoring, communication, navigation, weather, and anti-collision systems. The majority of aircraft drive their avionics using 14 or 28 volt DC electrical systems; however, large, more sophisticated aircraft (such as airliners or military combat aircraft) have AC systems operating at 115V 400 Hz, rather than the more common 50 and 60 Hz of European and North American, respectively, home electrical devices.[1] There are several major vendors of flight avionics, including Honeywell (which now owns Bendix/King, Baker Electronics, Allied Signal, etc..), Rockwell Collins, Thales Group, Garmin, Narco, and Avidyne Corporation.
