It'll be interesting to see how some of these companies do when the try for certification.  Chelton has already made it through the FAA gauntlet.

You will see lots of promises followed by song and dance about how it is "certifiable" but they are not going to pursue actual certification because it is just paperwork and does not add to reliability & safety.  If you believed that, then you are certifiable :)

Standard disclaimer about affiliation & involvement with Chelton applies.
