Meggitt Avionics

Providing sensing and display solutions to aircraft

Our technologies are used to give aircraft and their operators live intelligence on physical position, momentum and configuration. Our sensors and indicators help to control movement and position equipment precisely.  Whether measuring an aircraft’s attitude and airspeed or displaying threat warnings for helicopters – Meggitt Avionics (MAv) is your proven partner.

Our roots go back to 1852, when we were originally known as Negretti and Zambra. Our founders pioneered research into the relationship between barometric pressure and height above sea level using hot air balloons.

Today we’re known for the design and manufacture of high performance cockpit displays, attitude sensing, specialist air data products and life support systems for aerospace customers.

In 2016, we expanded our capabilities to include industrial ignition systems, which were formerly made at Meggitt Rugby.
