[This is Saturday at the air show, again at the GE booth.]
[You can start to see that a lot of things are coming together.]
[I'll just give you a quick tour.]
[We've got the glass polished on a lot of the displays.]
[We've got the F136 model put in place,]
[We're hoping to bring you some of the simulator details in just a few minutes.]
[I want to show you some of the other stuff that we've gotten finished so far.]
[So around here you can see the graphics on the window are complete.]
[We've got all of the logos, ]
[and all the messaging on the outside of the stand is complete.]
[Here's the CMC display that we have for the ceramic matrix composites.]
[This is a turbine vane, and we're showing off the low density,]
[the low weight, high temperature capability of this product.]
[And here is some of the other messaging]
[and our 16-screen television that's up and running, ]
[showing all the movies and all the video that we've got going on.]
[Really clear, really great quality video there.]
[We've got touch screens here that walk everybody through ]
[all of the different features of the airplanes.]
[So you can go ahead and look at something like the GEnx,]
[and it'll show you all the... [male speaker on video] ...next generation of long range aircraft.]
[The GEnx is the most advanced commercial turbofan...]
[[narrator] It's really cool. It's coming together nicely.]
[Here's Aviation Systems talking to Aviation International News]
[They're showing how it works and showing all the functionalities. Pretty cool stuff.]
[Hi, I'm Frederic Daubas. I'm the Chief Marketing Officer for Aviation Systems.]
[This is a beautiful simulator that a team from Cheltenham and Grand Rapids built together.]
[The folks who did it will explain to you how it works.]
[Hi, I'm Simon Edwards from Cheltenham, England.]
[We worked on the display units and also the system integration.]
[I'm Bob Taylor from Grand Rapids.]
[Me and my team worked on the simulation that's going to run in the aircraft]
[[narrator] All right. So how does this thing work?]
[We have a piece of software called FlightMan from Workstation,]
[which was developed by GE in Grand Rapids,]
[and that simulates a Boeing 737.]
[And then we have connectors that are a real flight management system,]
[and these MCDUs which are also directly from the plane.]
[And, along with that, we have this real instrument standby system]
[which allows the pilot to fly without his main displays]
[and these large area displays which have 15.4 widescreen formats.]
[And this all ties in with Microsoft Flight Simulator]
[to display the outside world graphics.]
[And over to your left you have Google Earth.]
[Now, as you can see on the right-hand side, we've got fuel savings from our FMS]
[and the RNP approach compared to a traditional approach.]
[And you can see the trajectory maps in green of our approach.]
[Well, I hope that gave you guys an appreciation for what the booth's going to look like]
[and some of the features we've got going on.]
[It's Sunday afternoon now, so we are wrapping up our weekend.]
[And we'll be ready for the GEnx unveiling on Monday and we'll bring some of that to you too.]
