Will Bring A 'Touch Of Glass' To Older Birds
Exton,
PA-based avionics supplier Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc.
told ANN Tuesday it has entered into an agreement with Cessna
Aircraft Company to provide Flat Panel Display Systems on legacy
Cessna Citation aircraft. Flat Panel Display Systems will replace
existing round dials in early Citation cockpits, with displays to
be distributed and installed through 34 Service Centers
worldwide.
"The company’s Flat Panel Display System product line or
cockpit/IP is the most timely and cost effective way to upgrade
legacy Citation aircraft with the state-of-the-art technology
offered in our systems," said Innovative Solutions and
Support’s President Roman Ptakowski. "This agreement further
solidifies the success of the company’s strategy for
targeting select market segments."
Bringing glass cockpits to older aircraft is not uncharted
territory for the gang at IS&S. As Aero-News reported in
October, the company recently received an STC for its
retrofit option for the Pilatus PC-12. IS&S also installs glass
cockpits on Boeing 767s for cargo and charter flight operation ABX
Air, Inc.
Based on unit sales, Cessna Aircraft Company is the world's
largest manufacturer of general aviation airplanes. In 2005, Cessna
delivered 1,157 aircraft and reported revenues of about $3.5
billion. Since the company was originally established in 1927, more
than 187,000 Cessna airplanes have been delivered to nearly every
country in the world.
