NASA announced its selection of a team of industry partners to develop a "highway in the sky system," allowing the average person to travel in small, easy-to-fly, personal aircraft at four times the speed of a car. NASA selected Avidyne Corporation of Lexington, Massachusetts; AvroTec Inc. of Portland, Oregon; Lancair of Redmond, Oregon; Raytheon Aircraft of Wichita, Kansas; Rockwell Collins of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Seagull Technologies of Los Gatos, California; and Allied Signal of Olathe, Kansas, as the industry partners. NASA tasked the team with completing hardware and software development of an entirely new concept for a cockpit display system, intended to guide the pilot to a preprogrammed destination.
