Cabin Management Systems For A Variety Of Business
Aircraft
Rockwell Collins announced Tuesday at EBACE that it has
completed aftermarket installation of its Venue Cabin Management
System (CMS) on two Dornier 328DBJ aircraft. With this
installation, completed by 328 Support Services of Germany (328
SSG), the Dornier 328DBJ becomes the first European manufactured
aircraft to fly with Venue.
Venue CMS Mockup Installation
“With this particular installation, 328 SSG was able to
install Venue with a short lead time, which was made possible by
the system’s flexible design,” said Dave Austin, vice
president and general manager of Cabin Systems for Rockwell
Collins. “No other HD cabin management system spans such a
wide range of aircraft - from a forward fit position on the King
Air 350i to VVIP aircraft.”
The company is also touting a digital, high-definition upgrade
to its ACMS and CMS-1 cabin systems, with Jet Aviation the first to
implement upgrade on a Gulfstream V.
The digital HD upgrade refreshes and extends the life of a cabin
by allowing passengers to enjoy a high-end home theater experience
without the expense and downtime required with changing control
switches and modifying the woodwork. Elements of the upgrade
include:
- HD audio/video distributor, which also can upscale analog
content to HD quality
- HD monitors provide dramatic picture quality
- Dual Blu-ray disc player
Basel, Switzerland-based Jet Aviation was the first to install
the upgrade on a Gulfstream V. The digital HD upgrade solution is
also available for Gulfstream 400 and 500 series aircraft, as well
as the Hawker Beechcraft 750, 800XP, 850 and 900XP.
