  • Cirrus-Perspective-Touch-Brochure Low-Res.Pdf
    1 2 3 THE POWER OF TOUCH To touch...is to sense the world around you, to gather information. Now use touch to effortlessly access and control information. This is more than just modern avionics - this is Cirrus Perspective Touch™ by Garmin®. For nearly a decade, Cirrus Perspective® by Garmin® has been the industry standard in technically-advanced, general aviation avionics. Cirrus Perspective Touch follows suit as an innovative, user-friendly aircraft interface. More integrated and capable than traditional off-the-shelf products, Perspective Touch is designed around the pilot experience, providing a seamless connection to the airframe and environment. 4 5 FLIGHT DECK SUPERIORITY The Vision Jet® defines the Personal Jet category. Rightfully so, it has the most advanced flight deck in the world. The Vision Jet is outfitted with high resolution flight displays and is designed with three landscape touchscreen controllers to truly optimize turbine aircraft operations. The controllers present a familiar, intuitive interface, providing pilots quick access to detailed flight and systems information across a bright, panoramic display. The three-touchscreen layout allows for advanced interaction with aircraft systems, enhanced real-time weather, integrated weight and balance, radio tuning, cabin communication and much more. Additionally, with a single command, each touchscreen is interchangeable with the ability to function as either a PFD, MFD or NAV/COM controller. No other flight deck offers this level of integration and capability, delivered in such a clean and ergonomic cockpit layout. 6 7 UNRIVALED INTEGRATION Aircraft systems and subsystems come to life on the Perspective Touch flight displays as digital diagrams, tailored specifically to the design of your Vision Jet.

    STAY TRUE TO ORIGINAL INTENTIONS, AND KEEP THE MISSION IN MIND – Building an Air Power in the New Era Modern enterprises are the cells of a society, while society is the matrix within which enterprises grow. Therefore, while developing, an enterprise should act as a good “corporate citizen”, be grateful for favors received, and repay society, which is the social responsibility of an enterprise, and also an important factor in building a harmonious society.

The new type of air craft is an air plane that weighs less than 10000 pounds and uses a jet engine. Problem The student was proposed to designing a conceptual very light jet that could be used for inspiration and accepted the challenge. Method In this thesis the reader can follow the project progress in detail, the proposed methods and the results. The student divided the project into four activities analysis, creation, development and documentation. Result The project ended with a concept very light jet with simple specifications. Illustrations for inspirational usage and a simulation testing for verification of the proposed concept specifications.
