- Data concentration network, advanced power management system
seamlessly connects equipment across the aircraft with information,
commands, and electrical power
- Flexible infrastructure allows Gulfstream to tailor aircraft to
customers’ needs
GE Aviation is supplying the data concentration network,
advanced power management system and health management system for
the recently unveiled Gulfstream G400 and Gulfstream G800 business
jets.
“We are excited to continue our technology collaboration with
Gulfstream for the G400 and G800 aircraft. Gulfstream is a leader
in business jets, and this proven technology has been a
differentiator for the Gulfstream G500 and Gulfstream G600. We’re
working with Gulfstream to continue this leadership in the
marketplace,” said Brad Mottier, president of Systems for GE
Aviation.
The data concentration network for the G400 and G800 is common
from the G500 and G600 and builds on GE’s common core system from
the Boeing 787. The system provides a highly configurable
integrated data network for the aircraft and offers a way to
seamlessly connect avionics and manage aircraft functions. Using
GE’s tool suite, the data concentration network can be rapidly
re-configured, enabling efficient integration and significantly
reducing cost of change over the life of the airplane.
Working alongside this network on the G400 and G800 is GE’s
advanced power management system, also common with the G500 and
G600. This system exploits GE’s modular power tile which can be
positioned around the aircraft to free passenger cabin space and
reduce wiring needs as well as host utility function controls
enabling the removal of dedicated, federated boxes.
“The power management system provides aircraft manufacturers
with more configuration control through GE’s tool suite and its
pre-designed flexible architecture can significantly reduce
integration risk across the aircraft life cycle” commented
Andrew Carlisle, vice president of Systems Sales and
Commercial Operations for GE Aviation.
“The health management system on the G400 and G800 builds on
GE’s technology on the G500 and G600 and that powers Gulfstream’s
PlaneConnect™ system on the Gulfstream G650,” added Carlisle. “The
system will include enhanced compute monitoring of more than 9,000
parameters with real-time communications through satellite, Wi-Fi
transmission and 4G/cellular.”
