avionics

I stumbled across a video covering the final use of the Apollo Guidance Computer by NASA, the 'proof of concept' program that led to the successful development of fly-by-wire control systems for aircraft. Definitely worth watching as this was one of the unsung parts of NASA history. View...

I am looking for the details on the avionics suite of the ROCAF C-123Bs used in special duty ops in Nam in the late 1960s. In 1966, they received the Bendix RDR-10 weather radar with the antenna installed over the cockpit, and the AN/ARN-131 Omega Navigation System. Two years later they were...

I have a technical question related to the F-5N avionics. Information available online suggests that these aircraft received the LN-260 INS/GPS with a small color MFD installed in the cockpit in the place previously occupied by the radar's CRT IP-1278 Data Display Indicator while in Swiss...

Does anyone have information on the avionics upgrade suite of the former Fuerza Aérea de Chile Mirage 5MA Elkan and ENAER 50CN Pantera? The photo from the link below apparently shows Elkan's cockpit: https://www.airliners.net/photo/Chile-Air-Force/Dassault-SABCA-Mirage-5MA-Elkan/1886523/L Can...
