I know, as our company makes aircraft communications equipment (I design the electronics), and yes, some of these aircraft owners want things battery-powered and not attached to the aircraft, whether it's for a J3 Cub with no electrical system, an ultralight, or whatever. One of our intercoms went into an aircraft Amelia Earhart flew, and they put the controls where you had to reach between the seat and the wall to work them, because they wanted everything modern to be hidden. For others, they have their hand-held GPS, hand-held radio, and other hand-held things, because they want their modern electronics but they want to keep the antique antique. I was not talking about the sport planes though. I was talking about military and commercial jets that are still in combat service and daily passenger service. These aircraft have been outfitted with new electronics and improved engines; but the aircraft themselves are decades old. http://WilsonMinesCo.com (Lots of HP-41 links at the bottom of the links page, http://wilsonminesco.com/links.html ) |
