The thin, small 5-inch LCD display installs easily in most cockpits. It flips into position when needed and can be viewed by both pilots. Unlike previous versions of the Flipper, this model incorporates all electronic video boards into a single housing. It eliminates the need for a Detached Electronics Box. 

This low-cost Flipper is available today in three configurations. The list price for the Long Flipper (FD90AID-LG, spec sheet) and Stacked Flipper (FD90AID-ST, spec sheet) is $2,500. The list price for the Hinge Mount Flipper (FD90AID-HMT, spec sheet) is $3,500.

Aircraft owners and operators are still challenged to find efficient ways of displaying new sources of data in the cockpit. Finding panel room for data like Enhanced Vision Systems (EVS) is an ongoing issue for completion and refurbishment companies. With the new single-source Flipper, aircraft operators of all sizes now have an easy to install solution that does not require additional space or a rework of the entire instrument panel.

“Not only does the new Flipper have a superb picture quality, but because of the mounting options, it answers most of the installation concerns that our clients have,” said Rick Vachon, Sr. Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Forward Vision, manufacturers of the EVS-100 powered by Max-Viz. “We simply couldn’t be more pleased to be able to offer the new Flipper to our customers.”
