New and Emerging Technology

Abstract

A recent ERA Technology conference considered the provision of affordable avionics systems in the civil, military and space sectors. Included in the presentations were developments and projects indicating the advances made in each of these fields and the efforts made to design for specific needs. One contribution featured a small jet transport projected by Deutsche Airbus which is intended for service in the latter part of this decade. Cockpit and avionics details were featured for an aircraft seating 90 with a later enlargement to 130 seats envisaged. The configuration is low wing with two turbofan engines.
