JV Will Develop Communication, Navigation Systems To Support COMAC C919 Program
Rockwell Collins and China Electronics Technology Avionics Co. (CETCA) have signed an agreement to establish a joint venture (JV) to develop and manufacture the communication and navigation systems for the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd. (COMAC) C919 aircraft.
“Our collaboration with CETCA, a key avionics supplier in China, is sure to deliver many positive outcomes, including deeper relationships in the region, state-of-the-art aircraft systems and a stronger foothold in the growth and development of the Chinese aviation industry,” said TC Chan, vice president and managing director, Asia Pacific, for Rockwell Collins.
Rockwell Collins has a 30-year history of working with the Chinese aviation industry and its suppliers. The company’s equipment is installed in many airplanes manufactured in China (ARJ21, MA60/600, Y8, Y12, K8, and H425), and is on nearly every Western airliner operated by China’s airlines.
In April 2012, Rockwell Collins and China Leihua Electronic Technology Research Institute (LETRI), a subsidiary of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), announced the formation of AVIC Leihua Rockwell Collins Avionics Company to bring the latest surveillance products to the C919. Rockwell Collins is also providing cabin management and inflight entertainment systems for the family of single-aisle aircraft. Rockwell Collins and Xian Aviation Science and Technology Company (XASC), an AVIC subsidiary, have also delivered the C919 Engineering Simulator.
