Rockwell Collins' CCS will allow flight attendants to control all subsystems on the aircraft, including in-flight entertainment, passenger connectivity, heating/cooling and lighting. Cobham will provide the Distributed Passenger Address System (DPAS) as part of the Rockwell Collins CCS, which will be standard equipment on all C919s.

The DPAS will be developed from Cobham's latest audio system technology, offering unmatched flexibility, reducing weight of wiring and allowing full remote surveillance of the DPAS units to simplify maintenance.

“We are delighted to have been selected by Rockwell Collins as a partner on the C919 programme, bringing Cobham's latest technology to this exciting new entrant in the narrow body market,” said Cobham CEO, Andy Stevens.
