Manufacturing News




LED flight instrument manufacturer Thomas Global Systems will demonstrate its latest flight display innovation, the TFD-4000 series flight display, at the 2021 Air Carriers Purchasing Conference (ACPC) beginning next week.

The industry-first solution is designed for Bombardier CRJ Series and other Pro Line 4 flight decks.

It is a form-fit LCD upgrade for legacy Collins Aerospace EFD-4076 cathode ray tube (CRT) flight displays.

Thomas Global’s CEO David Barnes said the display met the needs of regional airlines for a practical, drop in solution to CRT display obsolescence.

The display also enhances system reliability and lowers airline operating costs.

The display is based on a proven analogue to digital software core design.

Barnes said: “With CRT production for EFD-4076 displays already discontinued, Thomas Global is focused on supporting Bombardier CRJ Series and other Pro Line 4 flight decks for the long term, helping operators get the most out of their flight deck investment.”

He said a prominent North American regional airline has selected the TFD-4000 series for its CRJ Series fleet.

Thomas Global’s drop-in CRT to LED flight displays are certified for Boeing 757, 767, 737-C, Saab 340, EMB 120, Dash 8, ATR 42/72 and other business and military aircraft.
