Airhart Aeronautics today announced a major milestone on the path toward installing its first production avionics panel: the successful deployment of the core software architecture that makes the system possible. At the heart of Airhart’s platform is a first-of-its-kind achievement for general aviation—an integrated, real-time state-estimation engine that fundamentally redefines how light aircraft understand, display, and respond to flight.

At the center of Airhart’s avionics ecosystem is an advanced framework that continuously fuses data from multiple onboard sensors to compute a precise, real-time picture of the aircraft’s full state. This includes attitude, position, velocity, acceleration, and complete three-dimensional orientation—shared across the entire avionics and automation stack as a single source of truth.

“This is a defining moment for Airhart,” said Nate Thuli, President of Airhart. “As we prepare to install our first production hardware, we’re not just delivering new hardware—we’re introducing a fundamentally new way for general aviation aircraft to understand themselves in flight. This is a leap forward for pilot safety, workload reduction, and confidence in the cockpit.”

A First for General Aviation

The Airhart system ingests high-rate data from inertial sensors, GPS, pitot-static systems, magnetometers, and other inputs, blending them in real time to produce a resilient, highly accurate understanding of the aircraft’s motion and orientation. Sensor errors, drift, and failures are detected and corrected within the estimation framework itself, dramatically improving robustness compared to legacy systems and enabling industry-first phase of flight and attitude awareness features as part of the total Airhart avionics ecosystem.

“This is not about new math,” said Nikita Ermoshkin, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Airhart. “The breakthrough is architectural. We made real-time state estimation the foundation of the entire avionics system—not a hidden module feeding a display, but the shared brain of the airplane. That enables a level of situational awareness, automation coordination, and pilot protection that simply hasn’t existed in general aviation.”

From Estimation to Intelligence

By anchoring the cockpit around a unified state-estimation core, Airhart’s avionics enable behavior that goes far beyond traditional glass cockpits. The system understands the phase of flight, monitors pilot workload, and coordinates user interface interactions with aircraft dynamics in real time—behaving less like a collection of instruments and more like an intelligent co-pilot.

As Airhart moves toward installing the new system, the company views this milestone as the transition from development to deployment—a tangible step toward delivering safer, more intuitive personal aviation.

“Our goal is simple but ambitious,” Thuli added. “Make flying more human, more forgiving, and more accessible. This architecture is the foundation that makes that future possible.”
