The new 737 MAX flight deck includes four configurable 15.1-inch
landscape LCD displays from Rockwell Collins that will increase
situational awareness and efficiency. The displays will serve as a
foundation for NextGen airspace technologies entering the
marketplace.
“We share Boeing’s pride in watching the 737 MAX soar, right on
program schedule. This first flight was especially exciting for us
since it marks the first time that Rockwell Collins displays have
been featured on a 737 flight deck,” said Steve Timm, vice
president and general manager, Air Transport Systems for Rockwell
Collins. “Today’s event also marks the continuation of a strong
collaborative relationship with Boeing to bring these advanced
displays and flight deck commonality to its entire fleet of
next-generation aircraft.”
In addition to the 737 MAX, Rockwell Collins is providing its
large-format flight deck displays on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner,
777X, and the KC-46 Tanker. The displays are also an upgrade to
legacy Boeing 767 and 757 aircraft.
Boeing selected Rockwell Collins to provide the flight displays
on the 737 MAX in 2012.
