Rockwell Collins' Avionics Selected for Airbus A350 XWB

Entire program valued at more than $2.5 billion

(Cedar Rapids, Iowa, July 30, 2008) -- Airbus has selected Rockwell Collins to provide information management and navigation capabilities for the A350 XWB aircraft. This award comes in addition to Rockwell Collins' fully integrated Communication Global Work package, the Avionics Data Network, Landing Guidance Systems and the Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer Actuator (THSA) for the A350 XWB. Rockwell Collins expects the potential value of the entire program to be $2.5 billion.

"The award means that the A350 XWB will have more Rockwell Collins content than any Airbus platform in history," said Kelly Ortberg, executive vice president and chief operating officer for Commercial Systems at Rockwell Collins. "As a core system supplier and integrator, we look forward to working closely with Airbus to bring the best value and capabilities to this aircraft."
