Pro Line Fusion avionics suite on track for 2011 certification
An anemic market for business jets and the recent loss of a major customer will have no effect on the flight-test schedule or certification of the Pro Line

An anemic market for business jets and the recent loss of a major customer will have no effect on the flight-test schedule or certification of the Pro Line Fusion integrated avionics system, according to manufacturer Rockwell Collins.

Cessna’s recent decision to “suspend” the super-midsize Citation Columbus program deals a setback to Rockwell Collins by eliminating what looked to be a promising platform for the next-generation Fusion cockpit, which was announced a year-and-a-half ago as a major enhancement of the Collins Pro Line 21 avionics system.
