Further strengthening its relationship with avionics maker Rockwell Collins, Bombardier has selected the Pro Line Fusion cockpit for its composite Learjet 85 midsize jet. The announcement marks the second selection by Bombardier of the Fusion suite after the Canadian company chose the avionics as the centerpiece for its so-called Global Vision cockpit last fall. That system will replace the Honeywell Primus 2000XP avionics in the Global Express XRS and Global 5000 starting in 2011.

Bombardier’s pick of Pro Line Fusion for its newest Learjet follows a string of contract wins for the Collins system this year, which includes selections by Cessna for the Citation Columbus and Embraer for the MLJ and MSJ. Pro Line Fusion’s primary market rival, the Honeywell Primus Epic system, has achieved one major contract win so far this year with Gulfstream’s selection of the suite for the G650.
