Pilatus PC-24




"Four 12-inch screens ensure that all relevant information is displayed in the right place and with no delay. The Inertial Reference System (IRS) guarantees excellent reliability and accuracy of altitude and navigation data. As standard equipment, the Pilatus ACE™ also includes a:
 Honeywell’s SmartView Synthetic Vision System (SVS), Traffic Collision Avoidance System II (TCAS) and Wide Area Augmentation System-Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (WAAS-LPV), which provide flight crew members with exceptional awareness of traffic and other conditions all around the aircraft.

Gulfstream G500 and G600


  G650 Cockpit

 

Gulfstream Fly-By-Wire

The digital fly-by-wire system is based on that in the G650,
with a pair of dual-channel Thales flight-control computers
and Parker electronic power-control actuators. But new to
the G500 and G600are the active-inceptor sidestick controls.

These are electrically back-driven, so they appear to be mechanically
linked side to side: When one sidestick is movedthe other moves with it. The sidesticks also move in response
to autopilot inputs, providing the pilots with tactile and visual
feedback.

" Gulfstream further pushes the technology envelope by equipping the G650 with a computer-controlled, highly redundant fly-by-wire flight

 
system, which, working in concert with the pilot or on full automatic, provides measured, minute adjustments that create smoother flights and increase passenger comfort."

The G500 is also the first business aircraft manufactured with a Data Concentration Network. DCN fiber-optic wires line the airframe, significantly reducing cables and relay equipment.
