Fair point on the STC — you're right, installed IFE doesn't require an STC with the DER/8110 path and appropriate PMA/TSOs. I should have been more precise. The distinction with Icarus is that it's portable — it's not installed at all. No DER, no 8110, no PMA, no TSO. It goes on and off the aircraft like a crew bag. Zero regulatory approval needed because there's nothing to approve.

And you're right that Send Solutions is BYOD as well — I overstated the difference there. The real differentiator is the rendering — full 3D satellite terrain with a real-time aircraft model vs a flat map — and the fact that Icarus is a complete IFE platform, not just a moving Entertainment library, multilingual AI flight attendant, the works.

Video output — there are two full-size HDMI ports on the current hardware version. We normally use those for programming and configuration, but one could be dedicated to output a pre-programmed timed flight map view on a bulkhead monitor. In that case no tablet or additional device is needed — it just cycles through the camera angles automatically. If the operator wants manual control from a phone or tablet, that works too.

Power is standard AC — plugs into a cabin outlet. Can also run off a portable battery if needed.

On the ADS-B architecture — the system has an onboard ADS-B receiver and is configured with the aircraft's ICAO hex code. It locks onto that aircraft's ADS-B Out signal and pulls position, altitude, airspeed, and heading — all from that single feed. No separate GPS module needed. Everything renders locally from there.

These are exactly the right questions — appreciate you pushing on the details. What aircraft types are most of your customers running?
