US avionics maker Rockwell Collins has won communications, data network and landing system avionics packages for the Airbus A350. The new work adds to the company’s previous win for the wide body’s trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuator and increases by 75% its content on the A330 and A340, aircraft lines the A350 will replace.

Under the contract announced late yesterday, Rockwell Collins will produce and integrate a “communications global work package” that consolidates what had previously been five separate communications boxes on early generation aircraft. By winning the global work package, Rockwell Collins has effectively become a first tier supplier to Airbus, a first for the Cedar Rapids, Iowa-based company.
