Butterfly Connect Stick is a very compact, lightweight USB-device wirelessly connecting Smart-
phones such as Apple®iOS®-devices to aircraft systems.
Butterfly Connect Stick creates an IEEE 802.11 b/g wireless AD-HOC network (WiFi®) and trans-
mits data from host devices like e.g. the Butterfly Vario via the TCP/IP protocol. Many Smartphone-
Apps are capable of displaying and using such data. Examples for data are current GPS-position,
pressure altitude, traffic or engine data.
