”We’re off to another great start to a new fiscal year as our first quarter financial results mark the fifth consecutive year in which we generated double-digit growth in first quarter sales, total segment operating earnings and earnings per share,” said Rockwell Collins Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Clay Jones. “The recent introduction of new aircraft models and several years of strong orders have amounted to significant backlogs for the production of new aircraft.”
