Rockwell Collins has started the
flight testing of its Pro Line Fusion integrated avionics system.
The flights are taking place on Rockwell Collins' test
airplane.
"The successful Pro Line Fusion flight tests mark an exciting
step forward in delivering a truly innovative system that scales
new aircraft platforms from business to commercial airline jets,"
said Greg Irmen, vice president and general manager of Business and
Regional Systems for Rockwell Collins. "And while the current
economic environment has its challenges, we are fully committed and
looking forward to delivering this important next-generation
avionics solution to our customers."
Since Rockwell Collins first introduced Pro Line Fusion in
November 2007, it has been selected for:
- Bombardier Global Express XRS/Bombardier Global 5000
- Bombardier Lear 85
- Bombardier C-Series
- Embraer Legacy 450/500
- Gulfstream G250
- Mitsubishi Regional Jet
Key design elements of Pro Line Fusion include:
- Extensive Situational Awareness with the largest format, high
resolution 15" LCD displays, synthetic and enhanced vision and
MultiScan weather radar.
- Empowering User Interface that feature intuitive controls with
point and click access, and information windows that are context
sensitive for different phases of flight.
- Flexible, Adaptable Open Systems architecture featuring
interface standards to ease accommodation of new technologies and
future airspace requirements.
- Information Enabled design that applies a networked system with
unprecedented ability for interoperability between onboard and
ground systems. This feature eases maintenance efforts, including
integrated cabin and flight deck avionics diagnostics.
