AIRCRAFT LIGHT AND AIRCRAFT COMPRISING THE SAME
An aircraft light (2) includes a support board (4); a light source (6), arranged on the support board (4); an optical element (8; 8′; 12; 14), arranged over the light source (6); and a kinematic coupling fixture (20), establishing a fixed position of the optical element (8; 8′; 12; 14) with respect to the support board (4).
System and method for control of an aircraft cabin display
Methods and systems for controlling an aircraft cabin display are described herein. The method comprises obtaining a reflected color on a surface adjacent to a cabin window of an aircraft, generating an image having an image color in accordance with the reflected color on the surface adjacent to the cabin window, and displaying the image having the image color on a display device covering the cabin window.
Floor lighting assembly
A floor lighting assembly includes a luminous composite sheet and a light transmissive carpet. The luminous composite sheet has a top side, a bottom side, and an edge extending from the top side to the bottom side. The light sources are arranged in a row and are configured to emit light into the light guide film through the edge. The light transmissive carpet is disposed above the top side of the light guide film. The light transmissive carpet includes a backing structure and a pile mounted to and extending from the backing structure. The light guide film is configured to spread and redirect the light that is received therein through the edge for emitting the light through the top side of the light guide film such that some of the light is transmitted through the light transmissive carpet.
Color correction method for chromatic aberration using multiple color LED sources
A lighting device is disclosed. In various embodiments, the lighting device includes an optical system; a plurality of light sources arranged in a matrix, the plurality of light sources including a first plurality of light sources configured to irradiate a first region of the optical system with a first light color, a second plurality of light sources configured to irradiate a second region of the optical system with a second light color; and a processor configured to control interaction of the first plurality of light sources and the second plurality of light sources with a third plurality of light sources and to control mixing of the first light color and the second light color.
AIRCRAFT LIGHT AND AIRCRAFT COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE AIR-CRAFT LIGHT
An aircraft light includes a support board and a supporting profile. The support board supports at least one electric light source, in particular at least one LED. The support board has two lateral edges, which extend in a longitudinal direction of the support board and which are spaced apart from each other in a transverse direction (T) of the support board. The supporting profile comprises a receiving space for receiving and supporting the support board. The receiving space is defined by a base, extending in a longitudinal direction (L) of the supporting profile and in a transverse direction (T) of the supporting profile, and two opposing side walls protruding from the base. The supporting profile further comprises two undercut sections, forming opposing slots in the two opposing side walls that are dimensioned for accommodating a lateral edge of the support board, respectively.
BLENDED WING BODY AIRCRAFT WITH TRANSPARENT PANELS
The present disclosure is directed to a blended wing body aircraft including a blended wing body, wherein the blended wing body is characterized by having no clear dividing line between wings and a main body along a leading edge of the aircraft, at least a rib, wherein the at least a rib runs longitudinally from fore to aft of the main body, and a plurality of transparent panels located in the top surface of the main body, wherein the plurality of transparent panels are located in channels, wherein the channels are separated by the at least a rib.
STOWAGE BIN LIGHTING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR LIGHTING A STOWAGE BIN ASSEMBLY OF A VEHICLE
A stowage bin lighting assembly for mounting to an internal cabin of a vehicle includes a chassis having a plate extending longitudinally between ends. The chassis supports light mount pedestals, wire standoffs, and at least one valance support above the upper surface. The stowage bin lighting assembly includes a light mounted to the light mount pedestals positioned above the plate by the light mount pedestals for providing lighting from the stowage bin assembly to the internal cabin of the vehicle. The stowage bin lighting assembly includes a wire electrically connected to the light to supply power to the light and coupled to at least one of the wire standoffs to control a position of the wire relative to the plate. The stowage bin lighting assembly includes a valance coupled to the valance mount pedestals configured to be coupled to the stowage bin assembly by the valance support.
EVACUATION SUPPORT SYSTEM, METHOD FOR SUPPORTING AN EVACUA-TION PROCEDURE, AND AIRCRAFT
An evacuation support system comprising a signaling device configured to produce signals guiding evacuees (E) away from overcrowded exit points and towards less crowded exit points. The signaling device may include at least one visual signal and/or at least one audio signal. Also a method for supporting an evacuation procedure and an aircraft having the evacuation support system.
ANTIVIRAL AIRCRAFT INTERIOR COMPONENTS AND METHOD OF ANTIVIRAL PROTECTION
An antiviral system comprises, an interior space, and an ultra-violet (UV) illuminator system fixedly mounted within the interior space for illumination of surfaces within the interior space for destruction of pathogens on the surfaces. A plurality of seats can be arranged within the interior space such that the UV illuminator system is configured to illuminate full or partial surfaces of individual seats of the plurality of seats.
SMART CABIN CARPET
A system for monitoring traffic in aircraft cabins includes conductive wire in isle carpeting and sensors to register pressure via capacitance changes. The system identifies the volume and location of traffic in aircraft isles via registered changes to voltage, current, and/or conductivity of the conductive wire, and sensors embedded in the carpet. Measurements over time establish changes in traffic flow and directionality which may be used to direct crew members in flight. Lighting elements may be incorporated into the carpet to provide signals to passengers and crew via the lighting elements.
