CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – Rockwell Collins offered congratulations to Embraer for its rollout of the KC-390 aircraft during a ceremony held Tuesday in its Gavião Peixotos facility.
The KC-390 program marks the first military application of Rockwell Collins’ award-winning Pro Line Fusion integrated avionics system, which entered the business jet segment in 2012. It also represents the greatest content that Rockwell Collins has on an Embraer military aircraft.
“As a proud supplier to the Embraer KC-390, the rollout ceremony marks a major milestone in the development of this important aircraft,” said Nelson Aquino, managing director of Rockwell Collins do Brasil. “We’ll keep working hard and in close collaboration with Embraer to help them achieve future project milestones and successful first flight.”
Rockwell Collins has established a program management and engineering team in Brazil fully dedicated to the KC-390. The team is co-located at Rockwell Collins do Brasil and Embraer facilities in São José dos Campos and Gaviao Peixoto.
Rockwell Collins do Brasil has increased its employment in Brazil by 50 percent over the past three years, with plans to continue steady investment and growth as it adds new in-country programs.
