There's a lot of tech around, that for one reason or another, isn't yet (or only limitedly) used on airplanes or helicopters. A few examples can be:
Fly-by-Light (optical fiber) vs Fly-by-Wire (*Some fighters have it and the Kawasaki P-1 as well)
OLEDs vs LCDs
Touchscreen vs "Mechanical/Manual" (Garmin's GNC 355 is a little exception here. It's touchscreen while also retaining manual functions, but it's only for small planes)
There are obviously lots of reasons why such as costs, willingness to use them, industry being "slow" to change, etc. So what tech is already here that we haven't yet applied to aircraft?
Just wanted to add that the Bell 525 will be the first commercial helicopter with fly-by-wire. I don't think it's certified just yet though.
