Avidyne

Description

Based in Lincoln, Mass., Avidyne Corporation is the market-leading developer of Integrated Flight Deck for light general aviation (GA) aircraft. Avidyne’s FlightMax Entegra line revolutionized flying in 2003 as the first Integrated Flight Deck for light GA and has since become the most widely installed Integrated Flight Deck in all of GA. Entegra now comes standard on more than seventeen different aircraft models ranging from single-engine piston trainers to twin-turbofan business jets. FlightMax Entegra technology also is the foundation for the Avio™ integrated avionics suite in the Eclipse 500 jet from Eclipse Aviation. Avidyne multifunction displays and traffic advisory systems are certified for aftermarket installation in virtually all GA aircraft. Avidyne enhances owners’ investments in avionics by continuously improving and expanding the capabilities of its systems through software updates.Experienced entrepreneur and pilot Dan Schwinn founded Avidyne in 1994 with the mission of modernizing GA avionics with technology that improved safety and increased aircraft utility and value. “As a pilot and aircraft owner, I was struck by how little GA cockpits had changed over the last 30 years,” said Schwinn. “I saw huge potential to develop a core technology and define a new generation of avionics that improve flying safety.”In 2005, Schwinn and fellow aviation visionary Paul Ryan united in the merger of Avidyne and Ryan International. Ryan, a 40-year industry veteran who founded Ryan International in 1981, is world-renowned as the inventor of the Stormscope® weather system, as well has their complete line of collision avoidance systems. The combined company brings together avionics leaders and extends Avidyne’s technical capabilities and market reach
