Talk:Avionics

message: This material is very helpful, my thanks to the authors. But I have a further need.
Can the experts please edit to include an explanation of the signal interconnection between the various components in modern a/c, particularly autopilot, fms, transponder, gps source and the displays. Can they talk to each other ?

replies: text: Fly-by-wire isn't a protection against pilot error necessarily; in most passenger aircraft, it is the only way to control the surfaces because they are hydraulic or electronic rather than directly rigged to the pilot controls.  The pilots can still make mistakes, and the fly-by-wire system will faithfully transmit those mistakes to the control surfaces.  The digital computer is only there to translate the pilots' desires into control surface movement. —Cleared as filed. 00:31, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Just one comment: I would suggest that this section should mention that the priveledges of the pilot's licence will be the ultimate limiting factor as to whether the aircraft can operate in the conditions that could make these additional devices that allow the helicopter to fly in difficult conditions useable - however good these devices are.

message: I have a paid COI with Honeywell. I'd like to suggest changes to the Avionics article that include expanding on the glass cockpit, general word-smithing, adding citations, some information about auto-pilot and so on. You can see the suggested edits in a diff here with the revised here. King4057 (talk) 22:33, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Article says 20% of total cost of a fighter is avionics. Believable. Text below picture of a fighter says 80% of cost is avionics which is hard to believe. Also, for a helicopter, it is hard to believe that 60% of total cost is avionics. Someone is pulling your leg.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.37.171.204 (talk) 21:12, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

message: you wrote 'in Europe'. 
But there are non-european countries also inside the Eurocontrol - controlled area:

and finally:  so many US-related peoples don't make a shit about what it is
- geographically the continent Europe ? (that's from the Ural up to island, from Spitzbergen to Gribraltar..
- the European Union ? (there aren't some of the here present most important countries on this planet)
what else?
By the way:  Australia and other countries are struggling wether or not to also change the spacing..

message: I would like to propose moving the content on Astrionics into this article, Avionics.
NASA refers to the systems on the Space Launch System as "Avionics" (https://www.nasa.gov/exploration/systems/sls/avionics.html). The term "Astrionics" has limited use as far as I can tell, so I believe it would be better to included it as a quick blurb ("Avionics systems on spacecraft are sometimes called Astronics") rather than its own article.

replies: text: Yes, that was my intent for the Astrionics content to be ported over - sorry if it wasn't clear. DeklinCaban (talk) 05:04, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  After some months with no opposition, I think you're clear to proceed with a merge.  Joyous! | Talk 23:23, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The resulting article might be too long. Geysirhead (talk) 13:30, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

text: As Joyous alludes to, and as Geysirhead more specifically describes, the combined page would be longer than might be ideal. It does seem that Avionics in spacecraft is a topic distinct from the general avionics page; the current structure works for readers, in my opinion, so I see no need for a change.

replies: text: In my oppinion it's better to have avionics and astrionics as a distinct topics. Also I had just done the Atrionics in Spanish Eloypripan (talk) 09:36, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

message: Does avionics include electrical power supply/generation (as implied by aircraft) ? How do different types of aircraft power their avionics ? What voltage AC? do most avionics modules require ? - Rod57 (talk) 17:10, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
