Rockwell Collins today unveiled VenueTM, its next generation, high definition cabin management system for business jets. The announcement took place at the National Business Aviation Association’s (NBAA) 60th Annual Meeting and Convention in Atlanta.
“Venue will take the passenger experience to a whole new level by mirroring a high end digital home entertainment environment in the airplane,” said Tommy Dodson, vice president and general manager, Cabin Systems for Rockwell Collins. “Additionally, because of the scaleability of the system and the ability to incorporate future technologies, Venue is a sound investment for our customers.”
The new system has already been selected by Cessna for the upcoming CJ4, debuting in 2010. The complete Venue system is scheduled for first deliveries in the first quarter of 2009, though select features will become available starting as early as second quarter of 2008.
