Rockwell Collins focuses on future: cockpit, cabin, communication, and connectivity innovations

PARIS AIR SHOW. Rockwell Collins spotlights investments in innovative cockpit, cabin, communication, and connectivity solutions – helping unleash the potential of the rapidly changing aviation ecosystem – during Paris Air Show.

The company recently purchased B/E Aerospace to create its new Interior Systems business, which includes a full portfolio of cabin interior solutions from advanced passenger seats developed for safety and comfort, to reliable galley systems and inserts for the highest standards of passenger service, to lighting that helps create the optimal atmosphere.

Rockwell Collins’ new Interior Systems business builds upon its strength in commercial cockpits and military applications.

These cabin interior solutions, as well as some of the industry’s most advanced avionics, communication and connectivity solutions, are featured on key aircraft that will be flying and on display at this year’s Paris Air Show, including:

Airbus A350 XWB, A380, A320, and A321: The A350 features the company’s new onboard information management system, navigation equipment, flight controls, a communication global package, common data network, seating and inserts products, as well as galley, passenger service units, and oxygen systems.
