FDU-268
6x8 inch Flight Display Unit for business aviation
The FDU-268 display is an all-new, state-of-the-art 6x8 inch
avionics display for use aboard turboprop aircraft and light jets.
Building on the innovative technology of the Barco CHDD-2000
display family, the FDU-268 is designed to integrate seamlessly
into any digital Electronic Flight Instruments System. The
advanced display features two separate DVI digital video
inputs.
Equipped with the latest, sunlight-readable Active Matrix Liquid
Crystal Displays technology, the FDU-268 provides not only the
exceptionally high brightness and contrast which have become
the hallmark of Barco’s avionics displays, but also an excellent
viewing angle of 80° in all directions. This allows the same unit
to be used in portrait as well as landscape orientation.
The innovative FDU-268 display is level A DO-178B and
DO-254 certified. As a consequence, it can be used as a
Primary Flight Display (in combination with an external symbol
generator) in almost any type of aircraft. The use of advanced
electronics results in a very compact footprint and low power
consumption.
Main features:
• Up to 2 DVI digital video inputs
• 24 line select keys
• Extra wide viewing angle
• Compact design and low weight
• Low power consumption
• Fully compatible with the MOSArtTM
open system processing unit
• Optional dual ARINC 818
