Avionics manufacturer Rockwell Collins announced that it has selected Cobham as its partner for the Cabin Core System (CCS) on China's indigenous narrow body airliner, the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) C919.
Rockwell Collins' CCS will allow flight attendants to control all subsystems on the aircraft, including in-flight entertainment, passenger connectivity, heating/cooling and lighting.
Cobham will provide the Distributed Passenger Address System (DPAS) as part of the Rockwell Collins CCS, which will be standard equipment on all C919s.
The DPAS will be developed from Cobham's latest audio system technology, offering unmatched flexibility, reducing weight of wiring and allowing full remote surveillance of the DPAS units to simplify maintenance.
The C919 collaboration is a further step within the long standing Rockwell Collins and Cobham partnership.
"We are delighted to have been selected by Rockwell Collins as a partner on the C919 programme, bringing Cobham's latest technology to this exciting new entrant in the narrow body market," said Cobham Chief Executive Officer, Andy Stevens.
