VÆRIDION, a 100% electric aircraft manufacturer, announced the selection of Garmin® to equip VÆRIDION’s initial Microliner test aircraft with G600 TXi™ flight displays, marking a key step toward the aircraft’s first flight. As VÆRIDION accelerates toward Microliner’s first flight, selecting the avionics provider represents a significant milestone in advancing the aircraft’s development. The Microliner is slated to enter commercial service in 2030, bringing zero emissions commercial flight from the testing space to the runway.
Garmin is a leading provider for General Aviation platforms, powering a diverse portfolio of avionics solutions that serve markets ranging from rotorcraft and business jets to advanced air mobility programs and commercial air carriers. Its G600 TXi™ flight display combines proven performance with a highly flexible, configurable integration. The modern, intuitive touchscreen interface enhances operational efficiency and situational awareness, while Garmin’s innovative safety systems set a benchmark across the sector. Together, these capabilities make the Garmin flight displays an ideal choice – not only for launching the Microliner’s flight-test campaign, but also as a foundation for future cockpit development.
“By combining innovative propulsion architecture with decades of aerospace know-how, our aircraft represents the best of both worlds. Equipping the Microliner with a best-in-class avionics suite from Garmin was a natural choice for us,” said Markus Kochs-Kämper, CTO of VÆRIDION. “Particularly for our test aircraft, the system provides reliability, flexibility, and situational awareness needed to support a rigorous flight-test campaign. We are proud to work alongside Garmin’s team to bring our solution forward.”
“We are honored to have the G600 TXi™ flight displays selected for VÆRIDION’s test aircraft. The advanced flight display capabilities coupled with a touchscreen interface provide a modern solution and safety-enhancing technologies to the aircraft,” said Carl Wolf, Vice President Aviation Sales, Marketing, Programs & Support at Garmin.
Meanwhile, VÆRIDION continues to scale its capabilities, having recently opened its battery manufacturing facility and test house at Oberpfaffenhofen special airport. This expansion further strengthens the company’s vertical integration, enhances control over critical technologies, and supports the timeline toward first flight and beyond.
