With a long history of developing automatic flight control systems for airplanes and helicopters, including business jets such as Cessna Citations, Genesys Aerosystems also offers fully integrated flight decks. The Genesys Avionics Suite is primarily targeted at military and special-mission aircraft.
Cockpit displays are NVG-compatible, and they offer integrated area navigation and a variety of sensor inputs. The suite’s master caution system gives voice warnings. The avionics suite, which is customized for military trainers, is matched with a Genesys digital autopilot.
According to Genesys, other features of the suite—to be installed in Grob Aircraft France’s Cobra TP-X trainer airplane—include “MIL-STD environmental qualification, MIL-STD 1787B aircraft symbology, digital flight recording, incremental symbology progression, and advanced safety features like synthetic vision and embedded TAWS. Additionally, user-definable airspace and obstructions, customizable alerting, avionics open standards integration, plus Genesys’ patented Open Architecture System Integration Symbology enable future growth and obsolescence management.”

New developments and products in avionics, specifically about aircraft electronics in the cockpit.
