Airbus Testing New System to Collect Data on Everything From Bathroom Breaks to Beer Preference

 

Your flight could soon be keeping tabs on everything from your preferences for in-flight snacks to the length of your bathroom trips.

 

Airbus announced this week that it’s started testing a new system to more closely monitor the in-flight experience—including bathroom breaks and passenger preferences—a process that will help streamline service for flight crew and offer a “more personalized travel experience” to travelers. The so-called Airspace Connected Experience will allow passengers to remote order food and beverages and set preferred seat positions, for example, as well as see customized entertainment and ads, among other in-flight offerings.

• Airspace Connected Experience: Pioneering Internet of Things in the aircraft cabin

 

• Paving the way for a new personalised passenger experience and an open ecosystem approach for airlines

Airbus has commenced in-flight trials of IoT* connected cabin technologies on board an A350-900 Flight Lab aircraft – to be shortly revealed to customers. In doing so, Airbus becomes the first aircraft manufacturer to undertake such flight-testing of actual connected cabin innovations. The platform, known as the Airspace Connected Experience, was unveiled at APEX Expo last year. It will usher in a new personalised experience for passengers and provide opportunities for improving airlines’ ancillary revenues and operational efficiencies.

 

The Flight Lab is one of the original A350-900 certification flight-test aircraft – MSN002 – and is fitted with an Airspace cabin which now serves as the ideal platform to evaluate the new connected cabin technologies in flight. To this end, and in conjunction with Airbus’ best-in-class cabin partners, an initial set of working elements have been installed. These include prototypes of the connected iSeat (Recaro), the Connected Galley (gategroup), a remote wireless cabin management control system, a large OLED display and importantly, the first step of Airbus’ new “IoT backbone” which includes an open software platform. These innovations are all now being tested in flight – together with others to be revealed in due course to customers.

 

The connected cabin ecosystem will enable significant value-adding services for passengers, airlines and crews. Possible examples include:

 

• Passengers will receive a more personalised travel experience specifically targeted to the individual needs and preferences, based on the available data. In particular this covers pre- and remote ordering of preferred meals, booking of private bin space, setting of individual seat positions as well as a tailor-made inflight IFE offer.
• Airlines will be able to generate additional ancillary revenues through personalised retail and advertisement as well as new services, all enabled by the IoT approach. Furthermore, airlines will be able to improve their operational efficiency applying predictive maintenance, avoiding waste and making crew services more efficient. Other opportunities can easily be created and applied via apps.
• Crews will find a better working environment and more efficient tools, digitally enabled by real-time data from the IoT platform throughout the cabin. A mobile smart device will allow crews to monitor and operate all components.

Customer-centric approach

The in-flight tests are part of our customer-centric approach, which began with workshops to create and prioritise innovative concepts, followed by an extensive phase of on-ground testing and customer evaluation of the connected elements. The subsequent testing of these innovations in an Airbus Flight Lab environment is key to bringing an integrated Connected Experience to fruition – being able to validate and refine them in a real airborne cabin. In particular, the tests allow the various elements to be operated and monitored during a normal flight cycle, especially with regard to the end-to-end data flow robustness within the systems and between them. The next steps will continue testing of the current setup, then close the feedback loop with airlines using Airbus’ Customer Experience Teams (CET) forum, by around year-end.

Following extensive market feedback and support from our industrial partners, Airbus has decided to proceed with an IoT* platform for the cabin, known as the Airbus Connected Experience. Up to now this has been a concept study, which is “coming to life” following cooperation agreements signed with three best-in-class partners: gategroup, Stelia Aerospace and Recaro Aircraft Seating – with more to join. 

 

The platform will link in real-time interconnected core cabin components, including the galleys, meal trolleys, seats, overhead bins and other cabin elements. As well as allowing data exchange throughout the cabin for the crew, it is also planned that consolidated information could also be uploaded to the Skywise cloud for subsequent trend analytics.

 

The connected cabin will provide airlines, flight crews and passengers with significant benefits. For flight crews, it means that they can access an integrated platform which keeps pre-flight and real-time data in one place, while passengers will receive a more personalised travel experience. And for airlines, the platform would allow them to use the aggregated cabin equipment usage trends (of the connected elements) to perform predictive maintenance analytics over their entire fleet – thus improving the overall cabin service reliability, quality and performance on board all their aircraft. The platform will also allow wireless streaming to passengers and will enable airlines to host third-party applications for movies.

 

Soeren Scholz, Airbus’ SVP Cabin & Cargo Programme said: “As airlines drive to improve operational efficiencies and reliability, they can now look to the Connected Experience, offered by Airbus together with our industrial partners, to link different elements of the cabin, seats, galleys and trolleys into one central data system.” He adds: “This seamless inter-connectivity within the cabin will also be of tremendous benefit to passengers who will be able to enjoy individually tailored, personalised and high-quality inflight service.”

Examples of “Connected Experience” components:

 

The Connected galley will enable passengers to pre-order from a dedicated prediction of preferred food and beverage for passengers – which also reduces waste and increases passenger satisfaction. It will also enable cabin crew to benefit from full transparency of inventory management for efficient operations, as well as facilitating remote passenger communication to deliver quick and personalised passenger service based on individual preferences.

 

Connected seat: The connected seat will provide passengers with personalised seat position settings as well as remote ordering of preferred beverage or meal via personal devices. And onto their IFE screens, passengers will be able to receive customised content including movies of interest or relevant advertisement for topics they are interested in – such as recommendations for concerts they would enjoy at their destination.

 

Connected bin: Not only will a “smart” bin indicate free space to place passengers’ luggage faster, but it could also enable space management, so that passengers can book the space for the bags in advance.

 

As an aircraft manufacturer, the market has clearly expressed interest in having Airbus in the “driving-seat” to develop an IoT platform integrating the data within the cabin. This platform is designed to be linefit and retrofit and will be available on our A320 Family first, before extending to other Airbus programmes. Not only is this platform fully compatible with Airbus’ Open Software Platform (OSP) currently offered as a service, but the connected experience will also be “Skywise Ready” for future data analytics – allowing predictive maintenance.

Stavo guardando per sbaglio questo live dall'aeroporto di Manchester, ed all'improvviso sono comparsi mezzi dei vigili del fuoco: un DC-3 è atterrato live con un solo motore ?

Ora non riescono più a toglierlo dalla pista, pare per colpa di qualche problema ai comandi

 abbiamo fatto un passaggio in formazione con il 326 ad una piccola manifestazione emiliana il 2 giugno scorso. Giorno particolare, poiché come "sacco" nel 326 c'era mio padre....è stata una grande emozione per me.

 

 @VuOtto, per caso hai volato anche allo spettacolo che hanno fatto lo scorso weekend a Jesolo?

 

C'era il team legend, formato dal 326, un 339 ed un 346, oltre ai più vecchi modelli ad elica che sono un po' in difficoltà a riconoscere.

Magari avessi volato io! Su c'erano Lodovisi (pilota) e Catellani (navigatore/passeggero). Probabilmente dovrei iniziare a fare qualcosa l'anno prossimo, ma dal seggiolino posteriore. per volare in formazioni miste, così strette, a velocità inusuali (120kts per "colpa" dei componenti propellers) ecc....non ho proprio il manico (tradotto: le competenze e l'esperienza) per farlo.

Ad ogni modo al momento ho ottenuto la full abilitation sul Provost MK5 che porteremo a Rivolto l'anno prossimo in statica durante il 60° delle frecce assieme a tutta la "nostra" linea di volo, durante questo inverno invece (dipende da ENAC) dovrei fare il passaggio al 326E.

 

Chiaramente è possibile effettuare dei voli da passeggero sia con il Provost che con il 326, se hai intenzione, ti mando via pm il contatto dell'hangar a cui scrivere.
