FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Elbit Systems of
America will supply a number of products – including cockpit
displays, datalinks and embedded training capabilities – to
Boeing's T-X advanced pilot training aircraft for the United States
Air Force.
"We are supremely proud to be trusted by Boeing and the U.S. Air
Force to supply these mission critical products and vital training
systems," said Raanan Horowitz,
president and CEO of Elbit Systems of America. "Future pilots will
greatly benefit from the revolutionary flight training capabilities
featured in the T-X."
Elbit Systems of America will provide a number of key components
including: large area displays, engine fuel indicators, upfront
control panels, and Head Up Displays and their associated line
replaceable units. In addition, the company will supply air and
ground datalinks enabling the T-X's onboard virtual avionics and

systems while flying the lower cost-to-operate T-X aircraft.
