July 30, 2013 - Flight Design announced at
AirVenture Oshkosh 2013 that it has selected
Garmin avionics for its new C4 all-carbon
composite four-seat light aircraft. "Garmin's
innovative glass cockpit avionics will enhance
the capabilities and safety of the C4," said
Matthias Betsch, President and CEO of Flight
Design.
"The ability to offer our customers features
like Angle of Attack (AoA), dual Air Data
Heading Reference System (ADHRS), and an
autopilot control module along with an
integrated glass cockpit at a competitive price,
makes the C4 an exceptional value."
"We are delighted to be chosen as the avionics
supplier for this next generation of Flight
Design aircraft," said Carl Wolf, Garmin's vice
president of aviation sales and marketing. "We
look forward to offering an integrated cockpit
with features like Synthetic Vision Technology
(SVT|) and an integrated autopilot with a
one-touch level button to restore the aircraft
to straight and level flight, to this class of
aircraft."
The Flight Design C4 is an all carbon composite
four-place light aircraft based upon the
advanced design of the popular Flight Design CT
series of aircraft. Key features are the new
Continental IO-360AF alternate fuels engine,
conceived to "future proof" the C4, an advanced
glass panel cockpit and an integrated, full
airplane parachute system. The C4 will be able
to fly up to a 1,200 nautical miles and useful
load of 1,320 pounds.
