Paris. India’s New Delhi-based SAMTEL exhibited its new Full Color Display (FCD) for the Airbus aircraft at the Paris Air Show. Shown for the first time at Le Bourget, the FCD is integrated in a 6 x 6 Thales display unit for the Airbus family of aircraft in their modern advanced cockpits. According to Executive Director Puneet Kaura, SAMTEL is the only Indian company to have co-developed an FCD for the Airbus.

The FCD meets the most stringent specifications and quality requirements of Air Transport requirements, specified under strict supervision by Thales, the French aviation electronics giant.

The FCD is designed for installation on an aircraft instrument panel.

It displays color piloting and navigation aid data as well as system and warning parameters to the Captain and First Officer. This equipment has the advantage of displaying multiple and variable parameters, synthesizing a large quantity of data and combining the data used in the various phases of flight for display in different colors, thereby making it easier to suit the operator’s requirements.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Kaura said, “It is very encouraging for us to be the only Indian company to propose the supplying these displays to Thales. Leveraging on the track record and domain expertise of Samtel in displays and in avionics products, this product is testimony of the engineering and manufacturing capacity of Samtel to provide top class avionics manufacturer such as Thales with a product that will raise quality benchmarks in the field of avionics.”
