Introducing SkyDock: Bridging EFBs and the Flight Deck
SkyDock was designed to solve a growing industry challenge: aircraft flight deck architectures were built around laptops, while today’s global EFB standard is the iPad. Rather than changing the aircraft or modifying the device, SkyDock creates a seamless interface between the two, enabling stable data, display, network, and control integration.
✈️ What makes SkyDock unique?
✅ Stable network connectivity combining aircraft and pilot data sources
✅ Extended display and screen mirroring capabilities
✅ Consistent color and graphics presentation across cockpit displays
✅ No aircraft modifications and no iPad modifications required
SkyDock enables the aircraft’s trusted data, controls, and displays to work alongside the iPad’s computing power and application ecosystem as one operational system.
A recent highlight was hosting our SkyDock Summit, where we had the opportunity to showcase the technology and discuss the future of connected flight deck operations with representatives from several leading airlines. The engagement, feedback, and conversations were outstanding and reinforced the industry’s enthusiasm for innovative EFB integration solutions.
Proud of the incredible engineering, operational, and cross-functional collaboration that brought SkyDock from concept to reality. This is more than a USB-C hub—it’s a new approach to connecting portable computing with the flight deck. 💡✈️
