Rockwell Collins has been selected by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) to provide the cabin core system (CCS) for its C919 aircraft. The CCS will be standard equipment on all C919 aircraft. A letter of intent was signed today.
The CCS being developed specifically for the C919 will leverage innovations from Rockwell Collins Venue Cabin Management System which services a wide market of business and regional aircraft. Rockwell Collins will team with Shanghai Aero Measurement-Controlling Research Institute (SAMRI) and Cobham, PLC. SAMRI will support Rockwell Collins in the design, development and intergration of the CCS, and Cobahm, PLC will provide the public address system.
"This is the third major package that COMAC has entrusted to Rockwell Collins for the C919 program - a true honor for our company," said Kent Statler, executive vice president and COO, Commercial Systems for Rockwell Collins. "The flight deck and cabin solutions selected will serve as the next generation backbone that will be featured on this important aircraft."
"Our work on this program provides a wonderful opportunity for Rockwell Collins to strengthen and extend our relationships with institutions in this region," said TC Chan, vice president and managing director, Asia Pacific for Rockwell Collins. "Through our work with SAMRI, we will be developing the business connections and technical capabilities that will enable both organizations to be more competitive."
Rockwell Collins' CCS allows flight attendants to control all subsystems on the aircraft including in-flight entertainment, passenger connectivity, lavatory, heating/cooling, and lighting.
