Cessna Selects Rockwell Collins HGS for Citation Columbus
(Geneva, Switzerland, May 19, 2008) -- Cessna Aircraft Company, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, has selected Rockwell Collins to provide its HGS(r)-6000 Head Up Guidance System for Cessna's new Citation Columbus business jet, which is expected to debut in 2014. Rockwell Collins' HGS will be the first head up display ever installed on a Cessna Aircraft.
"By adding Rockwell Collins' HGS to the Pro Line Fusion flight deck, Citation Columbus operators will be equipped with leading HGS technology that delivers the benefits of enhanced low-visibility operations, improved energy management and dependability," said Dave Austin, senior director, Head Up Guidance Systems for Rockwell Collins. "The HGS also has the capability to support synthetic and enhanced vision in concert with the head-down displays to further improve situational awareness."
"Columbus customers have indicated that the Head up Guidance System will be a requirement for many flight departments"," said Cessna Columbus Program Manager Joe Hepburn. "Having the HGS on board now only improves what will be the most advanced cockpit in the industry when we begin deliveries."
