DiSTI’s GL Studio® ARINC 661 Tools Selected by Major European Aircraft Manufacturer
 
 
Newest Module in the GL Studio Suite Strengthens Aerospace Manufacturers’ Ability to Meet ARINC 661 Standard
GL Studio ARINC 661 from DiSTI, a global leader in Human Machine Interface (HMI) has been selected by a major European aircraft manufacturer to develop ARINC 661 compliant aircraft displays. This new plug-in module will enable the manufacturer, a long time DiSTI client and user of the GL Studio suite, to optimize development workflow and increase productivity, resulting in faster development time and reduced costs.

The plug-in leverages GL Studio’s award winning object oriented WYSIWIG design environment to speed up ARINC 661 display creation. It will initially be delivered with a pre-existing widget subset for rapid, out-of-the-box deployment. Developers can customize the widget set according to the look and feel specified by the style guide of any given aircraft manufacturer. Additionally, the module will include DiSTI’s cockpit display systems rendering environment for prototyping and simulating the new display.

The ARINC 661 standard was established by the Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee (AEEC) in response to burgeoning costs resulting from the increasing complexity of cockpit display systems. It was designed to normalize the definition of these cockpit display systems in order to reduce the time, cost and risk in creating new display types.

More than 400 customers worldwide including BAE, Boeing, Dassault, FedEx, Lockheed Martin, Honeywell, Raytheon and Thales use DiSTI solutions to build maintenance trainers, create PC and Internet-based courseware and to develop components for safety-critical applications. As a full service provider, DiSTI offers a complement of custom programming and development services, and is the recognized leader in training solutions for the global simulation and training community
