The FAA has approved the new empennage design for R44 aircraft which includes a symmetric horizontal stabilizer and tail cone.

The AEA said avionics sales increased 4.6 percent from the second to the third quarter this year, marking nine consecutive quarters of increasing sales.

The Aircraft Electronics Association says total sales of avionics so far this year topped $13 billion.

Five quarters in a row of growth in the avionics market illustrate the recovery of general aviation following 2020.
