Air China selects Rockwell Collins for new Boeing aircraft
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (November 01, 2004) - Rockwell Collins has been selected by Air China to provide avionics on five new Boeing 737NG aircraft with deliveries in 2005.
Rockwell Collins’ GLU-920 Multi-Mode Receiver and WXR-2100 MultiScan Weather Radar are included in the avionics package.
The GLU-920 Multi-Mode Receiver is an integrated unit that provides the aircraft’s primary position, velocity and time reference
and enables precision landing capability. The advanced MMR also offers instrument landing system capability and high-integrity,
satellite-based positioning for navigation and future landing functions. The system also offers growth to support microwave
landing system capability and is designed to meet future air traffic management requirements while offering commonality across
fleet types.
The WXR-2100 MultiScan Weather Radar is a fully automatic radar that reduces pilot workload and enhances safety and passenger
comfort by reducing unexpected turbulence encounters. MultiScan provides optimal weather detection from the nose of the aircraft
to 320 nautical miles.
