Sim And Training Business In China Continuing To Expand
Rockwell Collins continues to grow its simulation and training
business in China with a new follow-on contract from Xian
Simulation Science and Technology Company (XASC) to provide major
components for two MA-60 full flight simulators. This is the sixth
in a series of simulation and training programs for Chinese
indigenous aircraft that Rockwell Collins has secured with XASC in
the past two years.
“The rapid growth in the Chinese aviation market segment
is naturally driving demand for world-class simulation and training
solutions for these new platforms,” said Ron Ho, managing
director, China for Rockwell Collins. “Our joint development
arrangement with XASC to deliver the best training available for
Chinese aircraft, including the MA-60, MA-600, as well as the C919
and ARJ-21, has been a model program on all levels.”
“The Chinese airline industry has entered a high speed
development stage, and high level simulation training equipment is
an important component part of this industrial chain,” said
XASC Chairman of Board of Directors Jin Dongsheng. “As a
manufacturer of Chinese high level simulators, XASC will take
advantage of its long term cooperative relationship with Rockwell
Collins to enhance its simulator business to the highest level in
order to satisfy the demand of the airline industry, expand the
market, and reach the win-win goal.”
The contract win follows the recent Level C certification of the
company’s first MA-60 full flight simulator by the Civil
Aviation Administration of China featuring Rockwell Collins’
basic simulator unit, avionics, and motion and image generation
systems, part of the company’s unique CORE simulation
architecture which features common open reusable elements that are
scalable and adaptable for multiple training devices. XASC is
responsible for development the aircraft specific modules (ASM) and
performing the integration.
