Orlando, Fla. (October 05, 2008) - Rockwell Collins has introduced the first airworthy, stand alone Blu-ray Disc players for business jets. The player will be
available beginning in fall 2009.
"We're excited to be the first to offer a Blu-ray disc player for business jets that incorporates the latest advances in high-definition

full 1080p video playback, along with the on-line, interactive capabilities of the Blu-ray standard, this new player is the
latest example of Rockwell Collins' commitment to bringing the latest entertainment and connectivity innovations to the business
