Institution National Aerospace Laboratory NLR Date 1980-03-13 Abstract Modern avionics are an integral part of the aircraft. They provide the functions of communication, navigation, energy management, identification, weather, terrain, and collision avoidance, the presentation of flight and warning data as well as aircraft guidance and stabilization. New developments in micro-electronics and display technology allowed a new concept of airline avionics with a significant reduction in weight, volume and power consumption combined with an increase in reliability and system functions, at a lower price. The paper gives a description of the evolution of airline avionics from the beginning of flight till the generation of airliners which will fly in the early 80's.
