The HHS Built-In Glass Cockpit

The HHS is an advanced built-in glass cockpit, specially designed for ultralight airplanes – and made by pilots for pilots. As such, we know the requirements and needs of pilots. Our goal is to enable every pilot to experience the benefits of a glass cockpit.

With our “Horizon” software as the base of the glass cockpit and its advanced features, we focused on the key functions a glass cockpit should have. This makes the solution simple to use, highly reliable, and also very affordable.
