A couple of months ago I flow to SFB to meet with Ruben Leon, the president and chief engineer of Level Aviation. Ruben built an RV9A that he uses as a test bed for his revolutionary avionics.
The product Ruben showed me will absolutely revolutionize the homebuilt market. The product was a "torpedo" approximately eight inches long and smaller around than a soda can with a little propeller in the back. It attaches under the wing or on top of a vertical stabilizer.
But what was in the "torpedo" blew me away. Contained inside are the following; pitot static info, temperature, pressure, AOA, GPS, ADS-B in and out. The little propeller on the back, generates its own power. All the data is transmitted via wifi to any tablet in the cockpit. Just think of all the wiring, switches, and breakers this product eliminates.
However he's not finished. He intimated to me they are looking at adding a FLIR camera to the unit!
