Airbus will launch the roll-out of electronic flight bags (EFB) for all its fly-by-wire airliners with an in-service trial of its FlySmart cockpit-integrated Class 3 device in early 2006, using an A340. The "paperless" flightdeck milestone comes two years after Airbus created a dedicated department to develop its EFB offerings, and eight years after it introduced the "less paper cockpit" Class 1 concept using laptops. The European manufacturer plans to offer airlines common, Microsoft Windows XP-based EFB applications software for its A320, A330/A340 and A380 families, but the Teledyne Controls-supplied onboard information terminal will be mounted on the pilots' sliding tray table on all models except the A380.
