Description
(preorder expected in spring 2012!)
Starting with the Butterfly Vario, Butterfly launches a whole new range of gliding products. Butterfly vario combines basic navigation, Butterfly display functionality as well as many other features with a new technology variometer, based on current research projects and latest sensor technology. It communicates with moving-map solutions and can be easily integrated into existing cockpit layouts.
With a combination of 14 sensors, the relative air-mass movement arround the aircraft is measured in real time. This means big progress compared to normal variometers, that only use pressure sensors to sense aircraft/airmass movement. Independant of flight direction the pilot sees real time air-mass and wind data updated repeatedly every second. In many flight-tests through 2011 pre-production devices have already shown the potential of this new technology.
A new design concept integrates a device with big 2.7“ display into a small 57mm standard instrument cutout. The perfectly readable display features a contrast ratio similar to printed paper. It is readable in any lighting condition and supersedes mechanical pointers.
Display and sensor unit are seperate devices. All devices are connected via a standardized bus-system with robust cables (CANaerospace). CANaeropsace is e.g. also used in Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 aircraft. Other display units, e.g. in two-seaters can be easily added. Future Butterfly devices will also use this standard.
The unit will be sold from Spring 2012. An introductory rate of €2520 (excl. VAT) is valid for preorders placed before 31.12.2011.
