Cessna Signs Pacts with Rockwell Collins

Cessna Aircraft signed agreements with Rockwell Collins to expand in-flight entertainment and situational awareness capabilities on its Citation CJ4 and Citation Columbus business jets. The agreements were announced at the European Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition this week in Geneva, Switzerland. Cessna will add Rockwell Collins’ iPod docking station to the Venue cabin management system aboard its Citation CJ4, which will begin delivery in 2010. Cessna Aircraft also tapped Rockwell Collins to provide its HGS-6000 Head Up Guidance System for the Citation Columbus business jet, which is expected to debut in 2014. Rockwell Collins said its HGS will be the first head up display ever installed on a Cessna Aircraft. For related news
