The brain of the domestic wide-body passenger aircraft C929 is confirmed: AVI Avionics has won the core avionics system

Today, AVIAGE SYSTEMS announced that it had officially signed the "Letter of Intent for Cooperation on the Avionics Core Processing System of the C929 Project" with COMAC during the Singapore Airshow.AVIAGE SYSTEMS will provide a new generation of independently developed core avionics processing systems for the C929 project.

The avionics system is called the "brain and central nervous system" of the aircraft and is responsible for key functions such as flight control, navigation, communication and data processing.

Information shows that AVIAGE SYSTEMS is a joint venture between Aviation Industry Corporation of China and GE Aerospace. It was established in 2012.Previously, it was the supplier of avionics systems for domestically produced C919 aircraft.

The C929 is my country's first long-range wide-body jet airliner developed independently in accordance with internationally accepted airworthiness standards and with independent intellectual property rights. It is currently undergoing preliminary design.

According to reports,The C929 basic model has 280 seats and a range of 12,000 kilometers, which can widely meet the needs of the global international and inter-regional air passenger transport market.

According to media reports, C919 chief designer Wu Guanghui, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, revealed that the C929 adopts a green design concept of low fuel consumption, low noise, and low emissions, and will adopt a series of measures to reduce carbon emissions.

Specifically, the C929 will adopt comprehensive modular avionics technology to reduce the weight of airborne equipment; it will also introduce advanced aerodynamic designs such as a new generation of supercritical wings and variable camber wings to improve overall aerodynamic efficiency.

In addition, the proportion of advanced composite materials in the aircraft will be increased to more than 50% to further reduce the structural weight; it is also planned to be equipped with a high bypass ratio and low-noise turbofan engine, and at the same time promote the application of biofuels, thereby reducing fuel consumption during the cruise phase.
