Glass Cockpit built with Tablets - Prototype

Featured Replies

I built a prototype of a Glass Cockpit using only Tablets. The purpose of this Simulator is to be able to load any Flight Instrument or Avionics package and show it to a pilot or enthusiast for familiarization or training. It takes advantage of the Tablet's large screen and touch features to use any of the instruments. The Simulator can also demonstrate how parameters (altitude, speed, vertical speed, GPS, etc) are displayed in two different gauge types or avionics packages can display flight parameters (airspeed, climb speed, attitude, heading, etc.) such as the G1000, the Pro Line 21 or the GTN 750.

Before I get the "that's gonna kill the FPS!!" - This is not what this was built for. Some pilots ask to see what a GTN 750 looks like, or how a Honeywell device compares to a Universal, etc. I can load up any instrument to any of the screens within seconds and immediately use it with touch capabilities. All the details of the build are in the video's description.
