As it has become tradition, here is a picture and description of what you can expect to be new at our stand at Oshkosh this year.
iEFIS(R) Explorer
------------------
Kicking off a new series of panels and a new EFIS concept is the Explorer which is slated to start shipping at the end of this year.
Based on a very bright LED backlight high resolution screen, the Explorer introduces a pressure sensitive touch screen which makes it easy to use a touch screen in the cockpit environment.
The touch screen makes navigation and map work a breeze while it can be used to control all aspects of the EFIS.
A row of 12 soft keys is used mainly as backup to the touch screen but is also used for rapid access to often used functions.
No less than five rotary controls are used for settings where these are of advantage.
In addition, the iEFIS is the first to receive our voice command system which allows full control over all aspects of the EFIS using your voice. However, this will be made available to existing EFIS systems as well.
The iEFIS combines all of the functionality of our G2 EFIS systems including support for 4 video feeds such as from FLIR cameras with around 10 times the raw processing power for a limitless future.
The Explorer is the first in the iEFIS(R) lineup which will see a 7" portrait and landscape mode unit, a 10 inch and a 12 inch plus we are also looking at a transparent EFIS which you can mount on the dash as heads up display.
Up to 8 iEFIS(R) displays connect to a central iBOX(tm) which contains all interfacing like 6 RS232 ports, 2 CAN interfaces pressure sensors, analog and digital inputs and outputs an well as ARINC 429.
For redundancy this can be duplicated if needed, including dual local area networks based on a zero EMI high speed data transport mechanism.
The term "iEFIS" is a registered trademark of MGL Avionics
XTreme EMS
----------------
Based on the successful XTreme EFIS released last year at Oshkosh, this model provides an engine monitoring solution at even lower cost as it does not have to provide pressure sensors, GPS and all things related to a full EFIS.
V6 COM Radio
------------------
The final production version of this excellent COM radio provides a full 4 place intercom system which is stereo. Each microphone input has its own noise reduction system, a further improved version of the VOGAD system found in the V10 radio. The intercom is dual circuit so you can completely separate the passenger circuit from the pilot circuit by means of a single panel switch.
The radio itself is similar to the V10 system with increased RX sensitivity and dual frequency scanning. TX power is 6W minimum at rated supply voltage. The V6 can be fully remote controlled by a MGL G2 or iEFIS.
V6R COM Radio
-------------------
Exactly equivalent to the V6 but without the display and user controls it provides a cheaper solution for systems using an EFIS to control the radio.
T6 Mode-S transponder
------------------------------
This is a first public image released of the T6 transponder which is currently in development. Release is however not imminent as this unit is currently a test bed for new technology which will see the cost and complexity of a transponder reduced dramatically. We are hopeful that we can do TSO within the next year.
I will be at Oshkosh this year helping Matt running the MGL stand.
Also from South Africa, Les and Farren. Les is the guy behind the hardware of the RF products and Farren has joined us recently - he brings with him a lot of digital signal processing experience and is responsible for the development of our voice command system.
Our European distributor Olivier will also be there.
Please come and say "hi", we'd love to meet you all !
