Three of Asia’s new airliner programs have looked west for cockpit technology, and, more specifically to U.S. avionics group Rockwell Collins. For China’s ARJ21 regional jet, it is providing its ProLine 21 cockpit suite, the larger C919 it will feature its full communications, navigation and surveillance package, plus a cabin management and in-flight entertainment system. Meanwhile, in Japan, Mitsubishi’s MRJ regional airliner will use its Fusion avionics.
