Rockwell Collins’ Airshow 21 cabin electronics system has been selected by Gulfstream for its G350 and G450 aircraft. The system is designed to allow Gulfstream owners to personalise the cabin of the aircraft during completion. 

Airshow 21 features an advanced cabin management system based on IEEE 1394 FireWire technology, and forms the backbone for a range of equipment used to control amenities in the cabin, such as lighting and temperature, along with audio and video distribution of cabin entertainment content.

“The extension of the Airshow 21 system into the G350 and G450 is a testament to our success on the

G500 and G550,” said Denny Helgeson, vp and general manager, business and regional systems for Rockwell Collins.  “We continue to work closely with Gulfstream’s engineering and programme teams to ensure design, production and delivery requirements are totally in line with their requirements for new aircraft delivery.”

According to Rockwell Collins, installations are underway and the first flight test will be in the first quarter of 2005. Digital Airshow 21 systems are also being provided for the G500/G550, as well as analogue systems for the G200.
