Helionix represents the latest technological evolution from the European helicopter manufacturer offering an unrivaled pilot assistance and intuitive human machine interface. The new avionics system, which includes the certified H175 and H145 civilian rotorcrafts, significantly improves helicopter management, and with its IMA approach provides unprecedented levels of performance and safety. VxWorks 653 powers the multi-function display, flight management and control systems, as well as the auto pilot of the new aircrafts. In addition, it provides resource management and partitioning capabilities that allow multiple independent applications of different safety criticality levels to run on a single target platform.

"As we sought to create the next generation of our helicopters' avionics, we turned to Wind River for its unmatched experience in this area," said Christian Franot, Head of Helionix Program at Airbus Helicopters. "Already validated in other IMA systems, Wind River safety critical technology offers the reliability, flexibility and configurability required for an implementation meeting stringent safety demands. Wind River also delivered end-to-end expertise, from the system design to the certification process, enabling a smooth development cycle."
