Boeing
has selected Thales of France to supply the Integrated Standby Flight Display (ISFD) for the 7E7 Dreamliner. Last month,
Boeing tapped Thales to supply the Electrical Power Conversion System for the airplane.
"After our recent first selection onboard the 7E7 Dreamliner for the Electrical Power Conversion System, our company is very
proud of this new success and to be part of the 7E7 Program. The confidence expressed by Boeing through this selection will
enhance our companies' relationship and represents another important milestone in our partnership," said Gil Michielin, vice
president, Avionics for Air Transport, Thales Aerospace Division.
The ISFD is a liquid crystal display located in the center section of the forward flight deck panel. It provides an integrated display
of airspeed, altitude, and airplane pitch and roll attitude. In addition, the ISFD demonstrates heading and landing approach
deviation data in a format similar to primary flight displays.
“Thales' Integrated Standby Flight Display is in service today on our 737NG, 747-400, 757, 767, and 777 fleets. The selection of
Thales for this key function expands the partnership we have already developed on the 7E7,” said Mike Bair, senior vice president
- 7E7 Program. |
