Jet Airways selects Northrop system

California: Jet Airways, India's largest private carrier, has selected Northrop Grumman Corporation's latest air data inertial reference units for its new A330-200 aircraft.
'The advanced navigation system technology of our LTN-101E was an important consideration for Jet Airways,' said Bob Bushnell, director of marketing and strategic planning at Northrop Grumman's Navigation Systems Division.
Northrop Grumman's LTN-101E inertial reference unit replaces ring-laser gyro technology with fiber-optic gyros and micro-electro mechanical systems silicon accelerometers that are more reliable and easier to maintain. Enhancements over its predecessor, the LTN-101, include a more than 50 per cent reduction in electronic modules, faster processors, and a new interface bus that speeds transfer of data within the aircraft.
