Rockwell Collins' Fusion reigns as orders stack up

摘要

Rockwell Collins dominated the avionics game at Las Vegas, scoring forward-fit applications for its Pro Line Fusion integrated fight deck on the Bombardier Global 7000 and 8000 and retrofit selection on Hawker Beechcraft's King Air line and signing its first dealer in the emerging China market. For the Global 7000 and 8000, the large-cabin, high-speed ultra-long-range business jets set for certification in 2016 and 2017, respectively, the Fusion system will include four 15.1in (38.6cm) displays, synthetic vision both on the head-down and HGS-6000 head-up display, and a forward-looking infrared sensor, the vendor of which has not yet been chosen. Pro Line fusion is already a major part of the Global Vision cockpit for the Global 5000 and 6000, set for certification in 2012. The flight deck received its type certificate in June.
