"This joint venture is yet another demonstration of the collaborative and cooperative relationships we continue to build in China to support the rapidly growing opportunities in the region," said Ortberg. "We look forward to working with CETCA to bring world-class communication and navigation solutions to the C919 and other programs in China."
"Our JV will undertake the development and final assembly of communication and navigation systems for the COMAC C919, by leveraging the advanced technology and management capabilities offered by Rockwell Collins and integrated resources and expertise contributed by CETC Avionics Company," said Mr. Zuo. "I firmly believe that through the unremitting efforts, RCCAC will become a world-class avionics company and play a significant role in the China trunk liner development project."
