ScioTeq RDU-3068 powers PC-7 MKX training cockpit

The decision deepens an almost three decade partnership between the companies and supports military pilot training across several European air forces.

ScioTeq has been selected to supply its RDU-3068 avionics display for integration into the Pilatus PC-7 MKX military trainer aircraft. The RDU-3068 will serve as both the Primary Flight Display and Multi-Function Display on the platform.

The PC-7 MKX is being adopted for basic military pilot training by several European air forces, including the Royal Netherlands Air Force, Belgian Air Force and the French Air and Space Force. The aircraft combines modern avionics with comprehensive ground-based training systems.

Diederik Vandorpe, VP Avionics at ScioTeq, says: “We are honoured that Pilatus has chosen the ScioTeq RDU-3068 avionics display as the PFD (Primary Flight Display) and MFD (Multi-Function Display) for the PC-7 MKX. This selection recognises the RDU-3068’s advanced display and touchscreen capabilities, rugged design, and seamless integration with modern cockpit systems. On this platform, ScioTeq’s RDU-3068 displays will integrate seamlessly with the airborne avionics computer and software suite. We look forward to supporting air forces that rely on the PC-7 MKX to train the next generation of pilots.”

Ioannis Papachristofilou, VP Government Aviation at Pilatus, adds: “Pilot training systems like the PC-7 MKX demand smart high-tech avionics that can withstand rigorous operational use while presenting mission-critical information clearly and reliably. The RDU-3068 delivers on these requirements and strengthens ScioTeq’s role as our long-trusted avionics partner.”
