Aircraft Interior Comfort and Design


Book Description

What should every airline and manufacturer know about comfort?What can we learn from studies in the scientific literature?What do most passengers know about comfort and how can we translate that into interior design?Where can I find the latest knowledge and research useful for designing aircraft seats?Although the answers to these questions are ava




Cockpit


Book Description

The cockpits of World War II aircraft and the men who flew them.




German Aircraft Interiors, 1935-1945


Book Description

A comprehensive survey of the interiors of German fighters and rocket intereceptors of WW2. Instruments, gun sights, weapons, engines and crew stations are shown in detail.




Improved Fire- and Smoke-Resistant Materials for Commercial Aircraft Interiors


Book Description

This book describes the Conference on Fire and Smoke-Resistant Materials held at the National Academy of Sciences on November 8-10, 1994. The purpose of this conference was to identify trends in aircraft fire safety and promising research directions for the Federal Aviation Administration's program in smoke and fire resistant materials. This proceedings contains 15 papers presented by distinguished speakers and summaries of the workshop sessions concerning toxicity issues, fire performance parameters, drivers for materials development, and new materials technology.




Fire- and Smoke-Resistant Interior Materials for Commercial Transport Aircraft


Book Description

The two principal objectives of this book were (1) to identify promising materials technologies, design issues (both overall and for individual components), and fire performance parameters (both full scale and for individual components) that, if properly optimized, would lead to improved fire and smoke resistance of materials and components used in aircraft interiors; and (2) to identify long-range research directions that hold the most promise for producing predictive modeling capability, new advanced materials, and the required product development to achieve totally fire-resistant interiors in future aircrafts. The emphasis of the study is on long-term innovation leading to impacts on fire worthiness of aircraft interiors ten to twenty years hence.




Aircraft Interiors


Book Description

Descripción del editor: "The dream of flying has preoccupied man since time immemorial. The fascination of discovering distant destinations and overcoming distances quickly resulted in the demand to optimize traveling times from the aspect of comfort. Meanwhile, airline companies offer their passengers a wealth of on-board possibilities: Releaxing sleep in a bed above the clouds, internet connection, or bars. Functionality only turns into a finished contemporary interior as a result of the designed shapes, materials and colours. Starting with the choice of material to the development of an artificial starry heaven inside the cabin, which counteracts against jetlag, everything is taken into consideration while designing the cabin, making the time the passenger spends travling, more pleasant. This book will show the most impressive and innovative 40 examples around Aircraft Interiors in big and small, private and business jets."




Fourth Aircraft Interior Noise Workshop


Book Description

The fourth in a series of NASA/SAE Interior Noise Workshops was held on May 19 and 20, 1992 at the Graf Zeppelin Haus in Friedrichshafen, Germany. The theme of the workshop was new technology and applications for aircraft interior noise with emphasis on source noise prediction; cabin noise control, including active and passive methods; and cabin interior noise test procedures. This report is a compilation of the presentations made at the meeting which addressed the above issues.




Introduction to Aircraft Interiors


Book Description

This guide is intended to be used as an introduction for those new to the aircraft interior industry and a resource for those practicing in this exciting design field. The book covers all topics generally encountered while completing a modern aircraft interior.
