Rockwell Collins introduced new touch-control primary flight displays for business jets and turboprops at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh on Sunday. "These displays demonstrate our focus on empowering pilots with natural head-up, eyes-forward interfaces," said Colin Mahoney, vice president of sales and marketing for Rockwell Collins. "Touch-controlled, icon-based controls on the main displays help keep pilots' attention focused up and forward for safer and more efficient flying." The company said it is also working on an "autonomous backup control" that with one touch of a button will put the aircraft into a safe-altitude holding pattern until the pilot disengages the system.
