The business case rests on reduced hardware, lower power draw, and simpler maintenance, which could lower lifecycle costs for operators if installations scale. Key dependencies include successful in-service performance on the Falcon 7X and customer uptake beyond this single installation; the product is being demonstrated at NBAA 2025 and should be monitored for broader OEM approvals and retrofit orders over the next 6–18 months.
The standalone smart monitor provides ultra-high-definition resolutions, flexibility and simplified entertainment upgrade paths
The Venue smart monitor streamlines Airshow HD cabin entertainment into one consolidated unit, providing customers an elegant in-flight entertainment (IFE) entry point. With the ability to be installed on very light jets to heavy aircraft, the system is designed to eliminate excess hardware, reducing aircraft power consumption and simplifying on-going maintenance.
"The activation of the first Venue smart monitor with Airshow HD marks a significant shift in business aviation in-flight entertainment, bringing pristine resolutions, streaming content and an enhanced user interface to more jets than ever before," said Craig Bries, vice president and general manager of Commercial Avionics at Collins Aerospace. "The standalone system is flexible and simple to install, enabling phased upgrade paths to meet a variety of entertainment needs, cabin layouts and budgets."
The solution includes the Airshow HD mobile application, available for download on user mobile devices. Designed with familiar iconography and intuitive functionality, the application extends Airshow HD access to passenger fingertips anywhere within the cabin.
The Venue smart monitor with Airshow HD is available in five sizes with touchscreen and ultra-high-definition options available. Demonstrations of the system are on display at RTX booth #2245 at the 2025 National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convention and exhibition in
