Boeing 787 Dreamliner: avionics and electronic flight bag
by Peter D. DeVries
International Journal of Services and Standards (IJSS), Vol. 4, No. 2, 2008

Abstract: As the airline industry continues to adapt to high oil prices and ongoing security issues, new technologies continue to create opportunities for aircraft manufacturers. Continental Airlines will take delivery of ten Boeing 787 aircraft starting in 2007. This paper focuses on two key technical areas. First, the state-of-the-art Rockwell/Collins avionics systems for the 787 are described. The flight deck overview includes displays, flight controls, security, data and communications systems supporting 787. Second, the 'electronic flight bag', which replaces the large black case that pilots typically carry, is reviewed and the reasons for one carrier's decision for choosing a specific configuration are presented.
