Cobham SATCOM Antenna Selected by Virgin Atlantic Airways for 747 Upgrade Programme
Cobham's HGA-7001 SATCOM high gain antenna subsystem has been selected by Virgin Atlantic for the airline's Boeing 747 cabin upgrade programme to commence in 2012. Virgin Atlantic will retrofit seven of its Boeing 747 aircraft with the Cobham antenna, which will enable Inmarsat SwiftBroadband (SBB) SATCOM connectivity into the cockpit and cabin.
Cobham's antenna sub-system will be retrofitted to the fleet of seven Boeing 747-400 aircraft through an independent Supplemental Type Certificate (STC).
Other STCs are in progress to certify the Cobham antenna sub-system for retrofit on a range of aircraft platforms.
