Update from Hamburg Air Show (received from vircom.com email) A mock up of a conference room interior of an Airbus Corporate Jetliner-(which is a modified Airbus A319) demonstrated SPD windows not only as an integral part of Aircabin's innovative lighting environment, but also adding even more interior space to the aircraft cabin. Airbus demonstrated SPD technology in their modified cabin to the public. This means that Airbus is involved in the SPD project. Confirmation is being demonstrated in a number of industries by major players that SPD products are not just a reality, but a new innovation that will be used in a multitude of products in the airline and automotive industries. (From a participant at the show describing the exhibit showing the SPD windows) What you are looking at is the conference room area of the ACJ (Airbus Corporate Jetliner-which is a modified Airbus A319 just like Boeing modifies a 737 to make the BBJ Boeing Business Jet. More info is available about the ACJ at: corporate-jetliner.com. My understanding is that Aircabin is offering a unique lighting system for aircraft interiors to replace the standard fluorescent lighting currently in use. Depending upon the passenger's choice, a variety of lighting environments are available and can be changed depending upon time of day and esthetic preferences. For example, blue lighting may be used at night. The pink areas in the picture represent one of the many colors (the colors include blue, mauve, yellow, red, orange, green and pink) that the lights cycled through at the exhibit to show these various lighting schemes. On the far left you will see two people seated on the bench. A tray/armrest/bench to the right of the woman in the picture slides into the wall horizontally so it is hidden when not in use. The three pink areas on the left are windows that are flush with the cabin interior wall so that they could be leaned on by people seated on the bench. In these areas and recessed between the outer structural window and the inner plastic window are the lighting sources. The pink plastic vertical area next to the standing gentleman is a light source. Across from the people seated on the bench are three *SPD windows. At the exhibit the lights cycled automatically between a multitude of colors and the SPD windows* (which had a light box behind them to simulate a sunlit view of sky and clouds outside the aircraft) were operated by a remote control unit so they could be switched at will by booth personnel. Airbus's web site highlights the fact that the ACJ has the largest interior room of any corporate jet. SPD windows not only are an integral part of Aircabin's innovative lighting environment, but can also add even more interior space to the aircraft cabin.
