The first installation of the Gogo Galileo HDX has been completed on the Bombardier Challenger 300 that Gogo will use as the testbed for the new global broadband satellite service. Installation design and adapter plate for the new system was completed by Duncan Aviation-Houston Satellite team, and flight testing will begin soon.  


We thought we’d give you a peak behind the curtain to show you a little from the installation process.
