Kaiser Electroprecision To Provide 7E7 Pilot Controls

Will Be Similar To 777 Control Systems

Boeing Thursday said it has chosen Kaiser Electroprecision, a Rockwell Collins company located in Irvine (CA) to provide the pilot controls for the new super-efficient 7E7 Dreamliner airplane.

The pilot control system includes the wheel, column and rudder pedals located in the flight deck and the associated mechanisms. Pilots use these to control the aircraft in flight and on the ground. Also included is the control stand with the engine thrust controls.

"Pilot control of the airplane is at the heart of our philosophy for creating a safe, efficient global air transportation system. With Rockwell Collins, we have found a partner who understands our requirements and shares our commitment to safety," said 7E7 Senior Vice President Mike Bair.

The 7E7 pilot controls will be very similar in function to the 777 pilot controls, a similarity requested by airlines from around the world.

"This win is especially gratifying for us and a real vote of confidence," said Rockwell Collins Commercial Systems Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Bob Chiusano. "Boeing's selection of Rockwell Collins to develop and produce these components speaks to our abilities as a systems integrator and our leadership in pilot controls."
