Thomas Global’s TFD-7000 Series flight displays have been selected by a major North American operator for installation in its fleets of Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft.
The new displays leverage Thomas Global’s pioneering Adaptive Display Architecture™ CRT-to-LCD technology and follow the company’s introduction of the technology across a range of other commercial aircraft types. Installation will begin in early 2019.
The TFD-7000 Series displays are plug-and-play active matrix LCD replacements for legacy Rockwell Collins EDU-776C/D and EDU-766C/D cathode ray tube (CRT) displays installed in Boeing 757, 767 and 737 Classic flight decks. The new displays feature advanced growth capabilities to support a range of future functionality.
Developed with input from leading operators, the TFD-7000 Series displays significantly reduce maintenance costs compared to keeping the legacy CRT displays, and eliminate the obsolescence threat and last-time buy commitments associated with CRT technology. In addition, the TFD-7000 Series helps operators to avoid more extensive and expensive full flight deck retrofits – while sustaining aircraft operations and meeting operational requirements. The new displays offer quick plug-and-play conversion, are fully interchangeable and intermixable with existing CRT displays and require no changes to flight deck wiring or panels and no crew retraining.
