How will next-gen business aviation do more?

Many innovations that reshaped commercial aviation – including heads-up displays that enhance situational awareness and expand airport access – originated in the world of business aviation. Today, Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, is building on that legacy, collaborating closely with aircraft makers to bring forward solutions that meet demanding performance requirements and open the door to more possibilities.

David Unkrich, vice president of Regional and Business Aviation at Collins Aerospace, gives a glimpse of what’s next for business aviation at Collins Aerospace and shares how we think business aviation can do more. More efficient aircraft, more efficient operations, more sophisticated experiences, more connectivity, more on-time deliveries, more MRO performance, more up time.

In business aviation, operators expect elevated levels of performance, reliability, and efficiency and they are upgrading and expanding their fleets to meet the rapidly growing demand for private flight. But delivering on that potential will take more than good ideas. More than elaborate renderings.

The industry needs collaborative partners with the capacity and commitment to help develop, deliver, scale, and support future aircraft, while keeping the current fleet relevant for decades to come.
