Boeing Awards Additional Work to Thales for 7E7 Dreamliner

Boeing has selected Thales of France to supply the Integrated Standby Flight Display (ISFD) for the 7E7 Dreamliner. Last month, Boeing tapped Thales to supply the Electrical Power Conversion System for the airplane.

"After our recent first selection onboard the 7E7 Dreamliner for the Electrical Power Conversion System, our company is very proud of this new success and to be part of the 7E7 Program. The confidence expressed by Boeing through this selection will enhance our companies' relationship and represents another important milestone in our partnership," said Gil Michielin, vice president, Avionics for Air Transport, Thales Aerospace Division.

The ISFD is a liquid crystal display located in the center section of the forward flight deck panel. It provides an integrated display of airspeed, altitude, and airplane pitch and roll attitude. In addition, the ISFD demonstrates heading and landing approach deviation data in a format similar to primary flight displays.

"Thales' Integrated Standby Flight Display is in service today on our 737NG, 747-400, 757, 767, and 777 fleets. The selection of Thales for this key function expands the partnership we have already developed on the 7E7," said Mike Bair, senior vice president -- 7E7 Program.
