Swiss Aerospace manufacturer, Pilatus Aircraft Ltd, selects RDU-3068 as PFD/MFD for its basic training aircraft
KORTRIJK, BELGIUM, February 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — ScioTeq, a global leader in avionics displays and mission computing, announced that its RDU-3068 avionics display solution has been selected for integration into the Pilatus PC-7 MKX military trainer aircraft. This award marks a significant milestone in ScioTeq’s ongoing partnership with Pilatus Aircraft Ltd and underscores the RDU-3068’s performance, reliability, and suitability for advanced flight training environments.
The Pilatus PC-7 MKX is rapidly becoming a benchmark platform for basic military pilot training worldwide. Selected by several European air forces — including the Royal Netherlands Air Force, Belgian Air Force and the French Air and Space Force — the PC-7 MKX provides an integrated training platform that combines state-of-the-art avionics with comprehensive ground-based training systems.
“We are honored 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,” said Diederik Vandorpe, VP Avionics at ScioTeq. “This selection recognizes 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.”
The RDU-3068 is a PCAP touchscreen enabled, rugged display designed for extreme environments. It has been engineered to meet stringent performance and durability standards demanded by military flight training. It offers high-resolution graphics, robust environmental tolerance, and flexible data interfaces — all designed to support pilot situational awareness and instruction-centric avionics workflows in both live flight and simulator modes. The display comes with an EASA/FAA TSO C113 civil certification.
“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,” added Ioannis Papachristofilou, VP Government Aviation at Pilatus. “The RDU-3068 delivers on these requirements and strengthens ScioTeq’s role as our long-trusted avionics partner.”
This latest award builds on ScioTeq’s almost 30-year collaboration with Pilatus, in which the company has delivered thousands of certified displays and computing solutions across Pilatus’s trainer and civil aircraft product lines.
