Lufthansa Evaluating Goodrich EFB Laptop Docking Station
Lufthansa Airlines is
evaluating Goodrich Corporation's new laptop docking station EFB (electronic
flight bag) on one of its A340s.
The Goodrich EFB system,
which can be used during all phases of flight, includes two touch-screen
displays, two laptop docking stations and an installation kit. The docking
stations provide aircraft power, ARINC 429 (a technical standard for
commercial aircraft data buses), and Ethernet and USB (universal serial bus)
interfaces between aircraft systems and the laptop computers. They also
provide a high resolution video output signal to the EFB display.
Goodrich says its docking
system complements its own traditional
class 2 and 3 EFBs that use both removable and fixed installation
platforms. 06-19-2007. |
