Cobham cockpit comes together
The fusion of Chelton Flight Systems/S-TEC Chelton, Inc.

The fusion of Chelton Flight Systems/S-TEC Chelton, Inc. and Wulfsberg Electronics as component companies of Cobham Avionics and Surveillance is evident in the helicopter cockpit mockup at the Cobham booth (No. 434). What the company calls “The Cobham Cockpit” combines technology drawn into a full system integrator from formerly separate providers of discrete components and products.

The mockup, representing the system Cobham will supply to the U.S. Navy for its Bell TH-57 training helicopter, melds the HeliSAS stability augmentation and VFR autopilot from Cobham Avionics, Integrated Systems (the former S-TEC in Mineral Wells, Texas); Chelton’s electronic flight instrument system with embedded flight  management, synthetic-vision and H-TAWS terrain avoidance software; and Wulfsberg Flexcom VHF/UHF tactical radios.
