Now we have the answer in the form of Aspen\u2019s new Evolution E5 flight instrument, introduced this week at the Aircraft Electronics Association Convention in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>The Evolution E5 display consolidates traditional attitude indicator, directional gyro and course deviation indicator into a single display that retails for just under $5,000. The E5 unit also includes Global Positioning System Steering (GPSS), air-data computer and attitude heading reference system (ADAHRS), as well as a backup battery in case of loss of electrical power.<\/p>\n<p>Aircraft owners can also upgrade to the Evolution E5 display and a compatible TruTrak Vizion autopilot for less than $10,000, Aspen said.<\/p>\n<p>Aspen says the E5 display is brighter and more vibrant than its previous Evolution displays, while retaining its unique form factor intended to keep installation costs down. Designed as a drop-in non-TSO replacement for traditional mechanical vacuum instruments, the Evolution E5\u2019s display is a six-inch active matrix LCD.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike all Aspen displays, the Evolution E5 is configurable, upgradeable, and affordable,\u201d said John Uczekaj, Aspen\u2019s president and CEO. \u201cThe E5 can also be upgraded to a full TSO Evolution Pro 1000 flight display through an affordable upgrade path. Unlike other standalone systems, our versatile design and open architecture allow features to be easily configured to specific flight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Evolution E5 unit can be upgraded via software to a full TSO-compliant display featuring synthetic vision and angle-of-attack indicator afger installation, if the buyer so chooses, for an additional cost. It will be available starting mid-year 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmag.com\/\">Flying<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The electronic flight instrument is intended to compete with lower-cost, non-TSO-certified products from Garmin and Dynon.
