Aspen Evolution 2000 MAX pairs the award-winning Pro MAX PFD with the MFD1000 MAX for MFD versatility and full PFD backup redundancy—helping you clean up your panel and remove vacuum backups
Evolution 2000 MAX | Dual-Display Glass Cockpit (PFD + MFD)
Overview
Evolution 2000 MAX
MFD Versatility With Full PFD Backup
Clean up your panel and remove vacuum system and backups.
The Evolution™ 2000 MAX combines the powerful, award-winning Pro MAX Primary Flight Display (PFD) and the MFD1000 MAX Multi-function Display (MFD) to provide a system with MFD versatility and twice the safety and redundancy.
The Pro MAX PFD and MFD1000 MAX provide the safety and confidence of PFD redundancy. If your PFD fails, simply press the REV button on the 1000 MFD and it becomes the PFD – converting into an identical backup right in your primary instrument scan. This PFD backup means less stress and potential confusion in a pressure situation. No other GA glass cockpit system gives you this level of redundancy and confidence at any price.
Aspen makes the total glass cockpit experience both easy-to-use and affordable with patented retrofit technology and superior compatibility for substantially lower installation costs and total cost of ownership.
Evolution 2000 MAX – exceptional versatility, unmatched redundancy.
Five reasons why MAX is the best buy:
-
Reduces cockpit clutter
-
Evolution 2000 system with extended duration internal battery allows removal of your backups along with vacuum system
-
Vibrant aviation glass with the latest generation of processors
-
Simple and affordable MAX upgrade path for legacy Aspen displays
-
New-two year manufacturer's warranty
For Aspen customers old and new, your investment retains it value and never be obsolete.

Installations
Engineered for Easy Installation
The Evolution flight displays are innovative, modular system components that slide into existing 3-inch instrument holes in any instrument panel. A universal bracket provides easy surface mounting. The system can optionally be flush mounted. This unique design dramatically reduces installation time and cost.
The modular Evolution platform allows for easy expansion. The integrated displays mount side-by-side in one, two, and three display configurations for supreme flexibility and upgradability.
