(firmenpresse) - FARNBOROUGH, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwired) -- 07/12/16 -- Farnborough International Airshow - Esterline Corporation (NYSE: ESL) () is pleased to announce that its advanced CMC Electronics solution enabling flight operations applications and connectivity in the cockpit is featured on Swiss International Air Lines' new Bombardier C Series* aircraft. SWISS is the first customer to select the company's PilotView® Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) and Aircraft Information Server as factory options on their Bombardier C Series* aircraft.
Michel Potvin, President, Esterline Avionics Systems, said: "The selection by SWISS of this line fit option that will enable secure connectivity in their new C Series* aircraft is excellent news and confirms that our EFB systems are evolving with OEM aircraft to meet customer requirements."
Building on the PilotView® platform, the new EFB system features a 12.1 inch multi-touch display, delivering high-end processing and application support capabilities with its Intel® Core™ i7 processor.

Jean-Marie Bégis, Director of EFB and Aircraft information Systems for Esterline's CMC team, said: "The PilotView® AIS addresses the ever increasing data sharing, application hosting and secure connectivity requirements associated with cockpit, cabin and aircraft maintenance applications and systems. It addresses the pre-requisite aircraft inter-domain security between these wired and wireless systems making the C Series* aircraft e-Enabled."
