Panasonic Avionics Launches Five Wellness Products

Flight times of close to 20 hours are now a reality, putting passenger health and wellness front and center for airlines. With this in mind, Panasonic Avionics unveiled details about its Wellness product suite, one of the four pillars of its NEXT platform. The Wellness suite includes five products: premium lighting, active noise cancellation, nanoe air cleansing, a Detalytics health app and Mimi personalized audio. But what do each of these entail? According to Panasonic, the premium lighting will allow passengers to select their

own LED lighting scenarios. “We can do that automatically for passengers to tie it into mealtime, entertainment, as well as into sleep or circadian rhythm,” said Andrew Mohr, Panasonic Avionics’ head of Innovation. For the active noise control product, Panasonic worked with seat manufacturers to create 15 decibels of noise reduction within the seat environment, while the nanoe air cleansing technology creates nano drops of ionized water 15,000 times smaller than a human hair to remove airborne pathogens and odors. >

The Detalytics health app, meanwhile, will use artificial intelligence to deliver accurate recommendations on different aspects of a passengers’ health and wellness. Last but not least, the Mimi audio technology will use a specialized algorithm to test and tune headphones to a passengers’ exact hearing capability. The company is betting that the popularity of fitness apps and technologies like the Apple Watch Series 4 are converging

“We’re not wellness experts, but we have built a platform that wellness and health advocates and experts will be able to endorse and enrich.” ANDREW MOHR, PANASONIC AVIONICS

into what Mohr said is an “enormous opportunity.” Panasonic Avionics says it has undisclosed launch customers for all the products, including commitments for 2019 and 2020 deliveries. “We’re not wellness experts, but what we’re really good at is building platforms, and so we have built one that wellness and health advocates and experts will be able to endorse and enrich,” Mohr said.

It is estimated that by 2030 there will be more passengers in the air than people on the ground right now. And with more and more passengers demanding inflight connectivity every time they fly, the demand for capacity is only going to get bigger. Because we own and manage GX Aviation, the world’s only truly global network, we can guarantee the appropriate capacity over every flight route. Global Xpress delivers high-quality coverage with layered connectivity, and our unique steerable beams add supplementary capacity over key areas of high demand. Over time, additional tactical satellites will meet regional demand through GX Aviation’s unrivalled technology roadmap. GX Aviation is constantly evolving and it’s ready to adapt to whatever demands the connected world throws at it, today and in the future. Now that’s what we call an Intelligent Network.

Airbus Bets on Connected Cabins for Happier Passengers and Crew What happens when aircraft seats can talk to the galley, and overhead bins can talk to the entertainment screens? Airbus is showing off its Connected Cabin concept at APEX EXPO this week, highlighting the possibilities available in an increasingly digital cabin environment. The system is expected to deliver benefits to passengers and to airlines, though what it ultimately looks like in service could be several years away. Vice-president, Cabin Marketing, Ingo Wuggetzer explained that the ecosystem is being provided by Airbus but that other vendors will build on top of it. “We connect all the elements of the cabin

wirelessly, collect all the data and provide that to the airline to do data analytics to reduce costs and improve ancillary revenue opportunities,” he said. Tracking whether seats are reclined or whether the life jacket is properly in place can improve safety on board while reducing the work burden for cabin crew. Such efforts are being tested in cooperation with Recaro, using the iSeat concept program. From a sales perspective, real-time inventory management aids the crew in managing sales such as premium meals in the economy cabin. Rather than using hand signals and shouting across the

A220 cabin interior

cabin, flight attendants could consult a linked, digital sales system that keeps data current across multiple zones of the aircraft. While these concepts are expected to evolve as airlines and passengers provide feedback, senior vice-president, Cabin and Cargo Programs, Geoffrey Pinner is clear that it is not vaporware: “We’re flying our A350 testbed (MSN002) with the galley monuments. It is emerging technology, but it is being flown.” That is currently a Rockwell Collins product but Airbus expects that the framework will extend to all vendors, across all types, as the program matures.

Entertainment While You Wait: Immfly Takes IFE to the Lounge Following the success of its wireless in-flight entertainment portal, Immfly is now introducing Immfly Lounge, a solution for travelers to start a movie on the ground and continue watching it using the same platform on board. A server located in the airport lounge or gate enables streaming of all types of content, with ancillary-revenue-driving options to improve what Immfly calls “day of flight” net promoter scores. While travelers wait to board their flight, they can upgrade their seat, order onboard food or drinks and shop for duty-free goods to be delivered to their home. “Every action that could only be done on board can now start pre-flight,” said María Cardenal, Product and Digital Services director, Immfly. “The airline has more chance to engage passengers and earn revenue.”

Thales AVANT to Fly on American Airlines Boeing Dreamliners American Airlines’ upcoming fleet of Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners will fly with the Thales AVANT in-flight entertainment system. American’s business-class passengers will have access to a 17-inch full HD Flex screen and Thales Avii controller that doubles as a second screen, and economy and premium economy passengers will have 10-inch and 12-inch Fit HD screens, respectively. Joining American’s existing fleet of Dreamliners, the 22 additional 787-8s will enter service in early 2020. “American Airlines has trusted Thales as the in-flight entertainment partner for these new 787-8 aircraft. This agreement further demonstrates Thales’s commitment in supporting the airline’s ambitions to provide their guests the best onboard experience,” said Philippe Carette, CEO, Thales InFlyt Experience, who succeeded Dominique Giannoni in August this year.

Low Earth orbit satellite constellations promise a significant boost in capacity and drop in communications latency. We’re still 3–5 years from viable networks of those satellites in the sky but Global Eagle is working to ensure its current generation of connectivity hardware will be ready. The company will begin testing its Ka-band solution on its Albatross flying test bed with Telesat’s Phase 1 LEO satellite in October. With only one LEO satellite in orbit today, the company will be evaluating 16

EXPO DAILY experience

satellite handoff performance between the LEO Telesat Phase 1 and the geostationary (GEO) Anik F3 in orbit. This handoff LEO-GEO profile is as important as the transition between LEO satellites, given the current orbiting satellite infrastructure. Global Eagle is not giving up on the GEO investment it has today, said vicepresident, Aviation Sales, Mike Moeller, adding that the mix is about getting “the right data on the right pipe.” GEO still delivers an efficient means to move

large volumes of data, such as live video streams, for multiple aircraft. And, while Global Eagle expects newer antenna technology will evolve for future installations, current gimbaled antennae must be compatible with the new LEO constellation. The company expects the antennae will support that need, with retrace times between satellites below 1.5 seconds on average and tightly integrated engineering efforts with the satellite provider.

Inflight Media Digital (IMD), a subsidiary of Inflight Media Marketing (IMM) International, known for its AirSAS in-flight ad-serving solution, has launched AirPMP, a new marketplace that enables advertisers to browse the ad-space inventory available on airline seatback and wireless entertainment systems. While AirSAS places ads based on passenger nationality, age, gender or route, AirPMP matches airline offers and advertiser demands to optimize the buying and selling of ad space. Real-time statistics on number of impressions and click-through rate are updated at every aircraft takeoff and landing. “We provide the ability to target, monitor and report [ad campaigns] without consuming any bandwidth,” said JeanMarc Chevassus, CEO, IMD. “This is our positioning: to ad serve the right campaign at the right moment to the right people with the right message.” In its first year since being launched, AirSAS has managed over 16 million targeted in-flight ads for brands such as Breguet Swiss luxury watches, Coca-Cola, FWD Insurance, gloryfy unbreakable sunglasses, HewlettPackard and LG Electronics. AirSAS is used by in-flight entertainment and connectivity providers including AirFi, Bluebox Aviation Systems, Immfly, Phitek, PXCom, Rockwell Collins, Vision Systems, SITAONAIR and AirAsia’s Rokki platform, and currently flies on 500 aircraft.

Galileo Watermark to Deliver New Non-Slip Trays to United Airlines

Traffic: Wayne Johnson

VERY IMPORTANT FOR REPRO: Please check A/W files for correct trapping. This is your responsibility.

Galileo Watermark has designed and manufactured new full- and half-size service trays for United Airlines’ cabin crew. Made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and polycarbonate chrome instead of traditional plastics or stainless steel, each new tray will save over 800 grams in weight compared to those currently flying. The surface benefits from easyhandling and non-slip features to make spills less likely, therefore contributing to a safer aircraft cabin. After a year of design, prototyping and testing, Galileo Watermark says deployment of the silver and black trays is imminent.
