If you interested in the flight industry, something I've been looking at too:
Check out Disti (www.disti.com). Disiti is a company with an HMI(Human Machine Interface) that is gaining a lot of attention and they came out of a military flight industry. Their displays are in the Apache helicopter and the Virgin Atlantic Space Ship as a couple of their selling points. Because of their military involvement, everything they do is ISO26262 compliant which is attractive to the automotive space.
Don't forget that after all your math and science and engineering efforts are over, it still comes down to who knows whom. I'm not trying to be cynical, I'm trying to say: Plan for your end game. Don't fool yourself about the actual nature of that end game; it is not technical.
