Teledyne’s 'Connected Aircraft' consists of bridging traditional ARINC 429 avionics devices with Ethernet-based networked and wireless communication systems to facilitate data sharing and exchange within an airline’s operation. By streamlining information management, Teledyne’s ‘Connected Aircraft’ supports a wide range of operational areas, such as flight data collection and analysis for Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) programs, software part distribution across an airline’s fleet, Electronic Flight Bag(s) (EFB) content updating, etc. This new combined architecture, supported by a range of innovative wireless communication and networking devices, will provide a growing number of application possibilities, as requirements continue to evolve further toward the Ethernet-based environment.
