Flight Profile Optimization technology equips pilots with
easy access to flight path data
SINGAPORE, Feb. 21,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- (SINGAPORE AIRSHOW) -- Collins Aerospace,
(NYSE: RTX) an RTX business, now includes the Flight Profile
Optimization (FPO) solution within its FlightHub offering. The
solution improves access and availability of data by rapidly
reviewing the changing environment and suggesting opportunities for
more efficient route planning.
FPO delivers real-time route recommendations to pilots
throughout the flight, offering optimized alternative routes toward
their destination, which could improve fuel efficiency and reduce
CO2 emissions.
"Navigating dynamic weather conditions requires the ability to
access data quickly," said Jon
Merritt, associate director, Flight Deck Solutions at
Collins Aerospace. "Using our flight optimization solution, pilots
will have access to real-time data that in the past would have been
out of reach, allowing them to make informed decisions. Our digital
advancements bring the right data to pilots' fingertips."
FlightHub launched last year and can be integrated into
current airline systems and third-party applications or used as a
stand-alone system.
These advanced digital aviation solutions improve the speed and
efficiency of information available to airlines by centralizing
data sources into one application. With these latest updates,
FlightHub continues to add capabilities to support the global
aviation industry's sustainability targets.
