Posted by John McHaleSHANGHAI, 22 Sept. 2010. The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) selected Rockwell Collins to provide the cabin core system (CCS) for its C919 aircraft. The CCS will be standard equipment on all C919 aircraft. The CCS being developed specifically for the C919 will leverage technology 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 integration of the CCS, and Cobham, PLC will provide the public address system.SAMRI has been engaged in aero measurement-controlling research and products development. As a subsidiary of AVIC, SAMRI provides a collection of products for aircraft and helicopters, including airborne avionics, in-flight controlling, data collection and recording, ground testing, and safeguard. In China, SAMRI has built up relationships with the major aircraft and helicopter manufacturers and is the supplier of some of their products.Rockwell Collins' CCS allows flight attendants to control all subsystems on the aircraft including in-flight entertainment, passenger connectivity, lavatory, heating/cooling, and lighting."Our work on this program provides a wonderful opportunity for Rockwell Collins to strengthen and extend our relationships with institutions in this region," says 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."
