Aviation Calculators
Another class of specialized calculators is machines made to automate common aviation calculations.  Several of these were made by Texas Instruments and based on certain TI models, while others are independent designs.

 

1. Jeppesen Sanderson Avstar: Version 1 built by TI on the TI-35 platform, this does specialized navigation computations.
2. Cessna Sky/Comp: Another derivative of the TI-35.



ASA Pathfinder: Notable for its large screen.

Navtronic 1701: This calculator's unusual layout includes fourteen LED lights to the right of the keyboard which light up to identify aviation functions.  The BRT-DIM switch dims the display for nighttime flying.  (Not yet pictured: The Navtronic 16, a slightly earlier version.)

More from Texas Instruments:
1. Jeppesen Sanderson Avstar: A later version on a TI-35-II box.
2. Jeppesen Sanderson Prostar: An improvement on the Avstar, based on the TI-55-II housing.
