Factors Driving Growth: Reduction in Aircraft Weight
Innovations focusing on weight reduction in aircraft, achieved through EFB incorporation, serve as a primary driver. EFBs, replacing traditional paper flight bags, contribute to fuel savings, enhancing aircraft efficiency and profitability.
Market Opportunities: EFBs for Helicopters and eVTOL Vehicles
EFBs, successfully enhancing situational awareness in fixed-wing aircraft, present opportunities for integration in rotary-wing aircraft. Addressing space constraints in helicopter cockpits, EFBs simplify documentation, reduce weight, and enhance operational efficiency. The emerging eVTOL market further extends opportunities, where EFBs can function as emergency manuals.
Market Challenges: Software Bugs and Dependency on Updates
The digital nature of EFBs renders them susceptible to software errors, necessitating regular updates and revisions. Challenges arise as the decision to update relies on operators, and failure to do so can result in malfunctions, as witnessed in instances like the grounding of American Airlines aircraft in 2015.
Market Restraints: High Training and Initial Set-up Costs
The introduction of EFB technology requires substantial training for pilots and crew. Inadequate training can lead to interpretation problems, potentially causing accidents during critical phases of flight. High initial set-up costs, especially for Class 3 EFBs, act as a restraint, limiting widespread adoption.
