FORCES

  1. Flight-proven multipurpose interactive displays

    Capacitive multi-touch screen is engineered to be compatible with avionics functions with extreme electro-magnetic interference and adapted for use in aeronautical environment (e.g. turbulence conditions, gloves), allowing smooth, natural and intuitive new generation of user interactions. Secured connectivity capability with external systems such as Electronic Flight Bag allows transparent integration and continuity between avionics and open world functions. Since 2019, this solution flies onboard the A350 XWB as main display.

  2. Large displays to bring efficient operations for airlines and operators

    • Minimal footprint in the aircraft in terms of size, weight and power consumption
    • Highly reliable display solution that contributes heavily to operating costs optimization and mission performance
    • Secured touchscreen allowing control panels virtualization to simplify cockpit configuration and reduce maintenance costs

  3. Open and configurable displays, hosting multiple applications

    • Open platform based on the latest Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) concepts, which are certified for numerous in-service aircraft types
    • Capability to host both Human System Interfaces and other avionics functions including multiple third party applications (A653)
    • Software and related tools to customize solution before and beyond entry into service

Reduce workload for pilots

• Improve awareness of the cockpit crew

• Touchscreen with multi touch capacitive technology

• Highly readable in all luminosity conditions (night & day)

• Automatic luminosity dimming

• Easy clean thanks to anti-smudge technology

• Large viewing angle (+/- 55° Horizontal & Vertical)

• High resolution displays

• Night Vision Goggles (NVG) compatibility
