Thoughtful engineering runs throughout the system. It meets all the requirements for airworthiness on VIP and VVIP aircraft like yours. Its performance features include:

An unrivaled signal-receiving antenna (FMU-4000) – The result of our ongoing investment in antenna technology to capture the broadest, highest-quality satellite TV reception for your cabin.

The FMU-4000 is equipped with a micro-horn array for maximum full-band performance. This fuselage-mounted antenna rotates 360 degrees while pivoting -10 to +90 degrees

for a greater up/down look angle. A high dynamic reaction rate enables the antenna to move two to three times faster than other antennas. This keeps it on signal for uninterrupted TV viewing even during aircraft takeoff, landing, banking and climbing.

Forward-thinking system design – Tailwind 550 will complement the advancements of your other cabin technology for years to come. For example, maybe you’re considering an upgrade to monitors with 4K picture resolution. Tailwind 550’s new antenna is capable of delivering cleaner picture quality as 4K monitors and content are made available.

Personalized content and multiple-zone viewing – Offering combinations from two to 32 unique programming receivers using the IMU-2 or the optional IMU-16s.

Radome excellence – Combining efficiency and durability with pleasing aesthetics that maintain the beauty of your aircraft’s exterior. The radome’s aerodynamic design creates less drag, making it 38 percent more efficient than previous models. Additionally, its rugged quartz-laminate construction provides better reception as the radome is translucent to television signals.
