Airbus has appointed Rockwell Collins as the avionics supplier of reference for its Airbus Corporate Jetliner (ACJ). Under the deal announced here yesterday, all ACJs will be delivered with Collins communications, navigation and surveillance equipment–unless otherwise specified by the customer.

By year-end, the companies intend to offer inflight Internet service at a 56 kilobits-per-second connection rate. The existing Collins avionics suite for the ACJ consists of ADF, DME, HF, MMRs, a mode S transponder, RA, TCAS II, VHF, VOR and weather radar, as well as Aero-I satellite communications and AOC software datalinks. The supplier will support the equipment through its worldwide product support network.
