New range of decorative films
Visitors to AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings will be able to witness how the company has expanded its Aerofine range of coatings by adding the Aerofine Decorative Films. The Aerofine coatings range consists of a waterborne topcoat, a waterborne primer/surfacer and a virtually solvent free pinhole filler. Aerofine coatings are easy to apply and leave a mar and stain-resistant finish with excellent cleanability properties for aircraft interior surfaces which must withstand everyday wear and frequent cleaning. By introducing the new Aerofine Decorative Films, AkzoNobel will provide additional design options for aircraft interiors in the widest range of colours and effects such as high gloss metallic, brushed aluminium and custom made printed patterns. The Aerofine Films add value to the freedom in design and contribute to aircraft interiors’ passenger comfort and safety.
RECARO’s lightweights for the economy and the business class
Recaro Aircraft Seating is presenting the latest highlights from its economy class portfolio – from short-haul to long-haul products. Alongside the extremely comfortable CL3620, with the latest Thales and Panasonic video screens, Recaro is showing its successfully launched BL3520 seat, featuring great weight savings and ingenious design. The BL3520 is being exhibited in a range of equipment variants, including models with headrests and seats with integrated video monitors. In addition, Recaro Aircraft Seating is
introducing an innovation for the business class segment: The company is unveiling a new business class seat for short-haul flights which offers passengers more comfort and living space
and plenty of storage compartments for cell phones, mp3 players, newspapers and other items. Up until now, the seats used in this segment have been based on economy class models. Full-flat seats that can be converted into a bed have long since become standard on long-haul flights. To bridge the gap, Recaro Aircraft Seating has developed a unique premium model for the segment. The seat has a fixed shell that allows the passenger to
change the seat position without disturbing the other passengers. The sophisticated kinematic system with dual actuators gives the passenger the ability to move the seat to
pre-programmed positions at the push of a button. The backrest and the footrest are individually adjustable. Weight-optimised by the use of carbon fibre materials, the seat makes optimal use of the available space: The slim design of the shell ensures extremely good passenger comfort – even at a seat pitch of 43 to 45 inches.
Join the partnership for innovation
Next year a technology centre with a strong focus on cabin technologies will be inaugurated in Hamburg. What is special about “ZAL-TechCenter” is the fact that Airbus will relocate a major part of its cabin competencies to the technology centre. Along with a cast of system suppliers, research establishments and universities they will work together under one roof. Interested parties are invited to visit ZAL at its stand to join the partnership for innovation.
In addition to cabin technologies the ZAL-TechCenter will focus on fuel cell technologies, air conditioning and fuselage integration. ZAL operates from two locations, and is already offering testing procedures at Lufthansa Technik. ZAL was founded in 2009 by nine shareholders – Airbus Germany, Lufthansa Technik, the city of Hamburg, four universities, the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and the Association for the Promotion of Applied Aeronautical Research.
