What are avionics?
Avionics (a portmanteau of aviation and electronics) are the electronic systems used on aircraft. Avionic systems include communications, navigation, the display and management of multiple systems, and the hundreds of systems that are fitted to aircraft to perform individual functions. In short, the term “avionics” is the merging of the words ‘aviation’ and ‘electronics. Together the two words create avionics which encompasses all the electronic devices and systems within aircraft.By 2030, avionics will be more than a flight system — it will be the digital brain of every aircraft, driving decision-making, safety assurance, and operational efficiency across global skies. The Avionics Market stands at the intersection of technology and aviation’s future.A literal blend of the terms aviation and electronics, the avionics installed in an aircraft or spacecraft can include engine controls, flight control systems, navigation, communications, flight recorders, lighting systems, threat detection, fuel systems, electro-optic (EO/IR) systems, weather radar, performance .
Who is richer, Boeing or Airbus?
In 2019, Airbus displaced Boeing as the largest aerospace company by revenue. In October 2019, the A320 family became the highest-selling airliner family with 15,193 orders, surpassing the Boeing 737’s total of 15,136. In 2023, the number of Airbus aircraft in service surpassed Boeing for the first time. The Airbus A380 is the world’s largest passenger aircraft in nearly every metric: wingspan, height, weight, and passenger capacity. While the Boeing 777-300ER is a very large aircraft in its own right, it does not surpass the A380 in any of these core dimensions.
