Digifly AIR - The new integrated instrument with high resolution display. Its shape is optimised to the maximum strength; the display offers the best visibility also in bright-light conditions and has four big operative keys ensures the best accessibility even when wearing big gloves.
The
Digifly AIR will be sold as a single full function version, with two optional
choices:
1)
hang gliding pilots can ask for the installation of the optional pitot tube
2)
whoever, can ask for the installation of the optional GSM-GPRS module needed for
the internal Live Tracking, although this is not essential, as the Digifly AIR
is equipped with a 4th generation Bluetooth processor able to communicate with
every current mobile device, e.g. a smartphone on which you can install, for
free, the Live Tracking app: XC Soar.
The AIR
is entirely designed, engineered and manufactured in Italy; it uses state of the
art processors and sensors, including: a 99-channel anti jam GPS unit updated 10
times per second. The Air features a new inertial platform that provides an
even more accurate evaluation of the wind’s direction, improves the sensitivity
of the variometer, acts as a G meter for acro pilots and allows to get more
precise information from the magnetic compass even at high bank angles of the
wing.
The AIR has a high-visibility display grayscale, with a new design that facilitates visualisation and management of tasks in 5D. The “5D” (Digifly trade mark), is based on an ingenious
graphic design and comes from the merger of 2D and 3D visualisations, allowing
the pilot to check at a glance the needed glide ratio and best ‘goto’ glide
during the task; but, this new graphic design will also help the non-competitors
to have an immediate idea of needed glide ratio to reach the nearest safe
landing.
The
display layout is fully customizable also thru PC-Mac simply 'drag and dropping'
the preferred functions, or even transferring them from a micro SD card or via
Bluetooth from AIR to AIR.
The
fast, efficient and full optional AIR’s software, comes from the Digifly’s
know-how gained during years of competition’s support. It is designed in
distinct blocks that facilitates to set the instrument, entering waypoints and
setting task.
The
high resolution display, the wide internal memory space and the surplus of
computing capability, will allow to listen and to put into practice all the tips
that will come from its users, and as like as for all the Digifly’s instruments,
every one of the future firmware updates will provide to the AIR’s pilots a
totally “for free” perfectly tuned “AIR-tool”.
