The 707 aircraft model marked a "new flight era" for passengers, with more windows, a passenger service unit, illuminated seat-belt signs, and 1,300 square feet of interior space. [24] Boeing's 747, the world's first wide-body commercial jetliner, which was two and a half times the size of the 707, was used to create the Reagan-era Air Force ...
Advanced Supersonic Transport (AST) model in wind tunnel. The aircraft design process is a loosely defined method used to balance many competing and demanding requirements to produce an aircraft that is strong, lightweight, economical and can carry an adequate payload while being sufficiently reliable to safely fly for the design life of the aircraft.
Aviointerior products are installed on aircraft ranging from the 40 seats regional turboprops to the 400 seats intercontinental jetliners. From its initial production of mechanical economy and business class seats, Aviointeriors now include in its lineup electrically actuated lie-flat seats and full-flat seats with surrounding service furniture.
An aircraft cabin is the section of an aircraft in which passengers travel. [1] Most modern commercial aircraft are pressurized, as cruising altitudes are high enough such that the surrounding atmosphere is too thin for passengers and crew to breathe. [2] In commercial air travel, particularly in airliners, cabins may be divided into several parts.
Not only is MAYA’s curved screen three times larger than classic business class seat options, Panasonic also envisages the seat offering an Ultra-Widescreen CinemaScope (21:9) display – a ...
Through its TIMCO Aerosystems division, the company provided aircraft interiors design and certification services and manufactured interior fittings including seats, galleys and lavatories. [3] Timco Aerosystems was the result of the acquisition of Brice Manufacturing by Timco Aviation Services in 2002 [2]
The company developed its own aircraft design software, Advanced Aircraft Analysis (AAA), as well as a second design program for a NASA Small Business Innovative Research contract. [5] In 2002 he published Roskam's Airplane War Stories a collection of stories about airplane design and analysis and engineering mistakes that were made. Many of ...
This is typical for older jet airliners. A design goal for many, but not all, newer aircraft is to provide a lower cabin altitude than older designs. This can be beneficial for passenger comfort. [12] For example, the Bombardier Global Express business jet can provide a cabin altitude of 4,500 ft (1,372 m) when cruising at 41,000 ft (12,497 m).
