Honeywell has introduced a new Integrated Primary Flight Display (IPFD), and Gulfstream business jets are the first platform offered (plans for other business jet platforms are in the works).
From the web site -
“Innovative features that IPFD will bring to the cockpit:
- Flight Path Marker based PFD―HUD symbology that helps with the aircraft energy management and eases navigation
- Conformal terrain ―Displays exactly where you are going by looking at the Flight Path Marker
- Color coded terrain ―Similar to how it is conventionally displayed on a map
- Water texturing and color saturation ―Clearly distinguishes the water from the sky
- EGPWS warnings and cautions overlaid on the terrain
- Range rings ―Show distance
- Obstacles
- Runways markings ―Centerline, runway numbering and distance remaining markers
- Unusual attitude declutter with fade-in ―When the aircraft is in an usual attitude the terrain is gradually faded away to allow the pilot to concentrate on the task of returning to steady and level flight”
