Rockwell Collins Turns Today Into Tomorrow
The Pro Line Fusion retrofit for the King Air features what Rockwell Collins claims is the industry’s first touchscreen flight displays.

Rockwell Collins v-p of sales and marketing for commercial systems Colin Mahoney took the floor yesterday during a media conference at NBAA 2011 in Las Vegas to emphasize “exponential growth in electronics technology” and Rockwell’s most recent steps to stay ahead of the power curve.

Among those steps is one aimed at bringing the capabilities of Pro Line Fusion avionics to turboprops and light jets. “Previously, advanced functionality such as synthetic vision on head-up displays and automated weather radar were available only for larger aircraft,” said Greg Irmen, v-p and general manage of business and regional systems. “Pro Line Fusion now brings these capabilities and more to the entire range of business aircraft–from turboprops to intercontinental business jets.”
