| MA-700 |
The MA-700, a twin turboprop that follows the development of the MA-60 and MA-600 Xian Modern Ark family of aircraft, is expected to enter into service in 2019.
AVIC also selected Rockwell Collins’ HGS™-3500Head-up Guidance System—an innovative, all-in-one compact head-up display (HUD) solution—as an airline-selectable option for the MA-700.
Pro Line Fusion for the MA-700 empowers regional airline crews by delivering extensive situational awareness through an intuitive graphical user interface. The flight deck equips airlines with a broad range of operational capabilities including:
*.Four interchangeable 14-inch widescreen flight displays to optimize dispatchability.
*.MultiScan™ weather radar with predictive windshear capability, providing unprecedented atmospheric threat assessment capabilities.
*.Pilot-configurable primary and multifunction display windows that can show any system information, flight-critical data and synoptic diagrams of aircraft system information.
*.Interactive graphical maps with weather overlays, obstacles, and geopolitical boundaries.
*.Built-in, geo-referenced electronic navigation charts that display “own-ship” aircraft position for enhanced situational awareness during approaches that easily transitions to the airport diagram after landing to make surface navigation easier.
*.Fully-featured flight management system positions airlines for airspace modernization with localizer performance with vertical navigation (LPV) approach capability and radius-to-fix (RF) legs.
Rockwell Collins Pro Line II™ and Pro Line 21™ avionics systems are featured on the MA-60 and MA-600 aircraft.
Ukrainian Antonov is providing design assistance to develop the new Chinese airliner. The aircraft will be a 80-70-seater powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW150C turboprop engine.
