Early planes had few instruments, but  as aviation and aircraft became more complex, so did instrumentation.  Most of the new technology was electronic; hence, the expression  &#8220;aviation electronics&#8221; arose and was later shortened to &#8220;avionics.&#8221;  After World War II, the increasing sophistication of military avionics  helped spawn a proliferation of electronic applications to commercial  and private aviation. Avionics includes numerous types of devices,  including those used for navigation control instruments that aid in steering and  controlling the craft; and performance indicators, such as altimeters  and velocity gauges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avionics Related to the the electronic instrumentation and control equipment used in airplanes and space vehicles.
