Dynon's ADAHRS platform contains a group of tightly integrated sensors that allow it to accurately sense attitude, airspeed, altitude, turn rate, the slip/skid ball, and vertical g's. A set of three electronic MEMS-type accelerometers measure forces on all axes. Three electronic MEMS-type angular rate sensors (the modern electronic equivalent of "gyros") measure rotational rates on all axes. Three electronic magnetic sensors determine heading, and since Earth's magnetic field is also measured on all axes the heading is accurate with the aircraft in any orientation. Finally, three electronic pressure transducers are used to measure airspeed, altitude, and angle of attack (when equipped with Dynon's optional AOA/Pitot probe) via direct connection to your aircraft's pitot and static sources.

No moving parts

Dynon Avionics' instruments are all electronic, do not need vacuum, have no spinning gyros inside, and in fact contain no moving parts whatsoever. They cannot be damaged by aggressive maneuvers or unusual attitudes like conventional attitude indicators and gyros can. Aerobatic pilots fly behind Dynon instruments without worrying about them: no moving parts means no "caging" is needed to prevent damage as is required with older mechanical gyros.

Works in any orientation

Conventional attitude indicators are prone to tumbling and degraded performance at unusual attitudes. Dynon's ADAHRS, though, will sense accurately no matter what direction the aircraft is pointed. The Dynon ADAHRS is also capable of using its different sensors in combinations that eliminate old frustrations. For example, roll and turn rate information is used to stabilize the magnetic heading and reduce the "lead and lag" effects that wet compasses suffer from. Additionally, airspeed information is used to further increase the integrity of the attitude information.

Turns on as soon as power is applied - every time, at any time, and without delay. No bulky crash-prone operating system here!

Instead of building products on top of pre-made operating systems and stock computer boards, Dynon Avionics designs and builds its products in-house. This deep level of integration means that Dynon-equipped pilots do not experience system crashes and lock-ups. Rather than behaving like a fragile computer system that needs time to boot, Dynon products simply turn on and display an accurate attitude within seconds of power up. There is no need to sit around and wait for "alignment" - Dynon's ADAHRS is ready to take off before you are. And unlike competing products, Dynon's ADAHRS can be powered up in flight and will automatically determine the correct attitude within SECONDS. Other EFIS systems can take minutes to figure out which way is up or require that you manually remind it where the sky really is.

Works when the lights go out

When equipped with the optional rechargeable Li-Ion backup battery Dynon EFIS systems will stay alive for hours should your aircraft experience electrical failure.

Unrivaled value

Before Dynon Avionics unleashed the best selling EFIS-D10 on the market, glass cockpit EFIS technology was only widely available in high-end business aircraft and airliners. Dynon's real breakthrough is the ability to offer glass cockpit technology at prices that are accessible to the rest of us. This, combined with a stellar reputation for taking care of our customers, has made Dynon Avionics' products the most popular in the homebuilt and light sport aviation communities. Today, the Dynon Avionics EFIS-D10A retails for just $2200. The 7" screened EFIS-D100 is just $200 more, and the new FlightDEK-D180 integrates engine monitoring for $3200. Dynon's new line of simpler, lower cost EFIS systems retail for $1600 (EFIS-D6) and $1900 (EFIS-D60).
