COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES OF THE 6X



  • Work load reduction with the sidesticks
    (path control device)

  • Flaperons that work like a classic flap
    and like an aileron, making possible to
    increase lift and roll control as well

  • Larger HUDs combining Enhanced
    Flight Vision (EFVS) with Synthetic
    Vision (SVS), and the possibility of dual
    HUD so the copilot can share the pilot’s
    situational awareness

    • Organized viewing of tracks

    • Safety of fuel tank pressurization
      system with nitrogen (On Board Inerting
      Gas Generation System - OBIGGS)

      dedicated door

    • Automatic fuel tank water
      drain (under study)

    • Wireless synchronization
      between pilot’s tablet and the flight deck
