New Business Class ‘MAYA’ Unveiled by Collins and Panasonic Avionics: Featuring Over 45-Inch Monitors and Adjustable Cushion Pressure
Collins Aerospace and Panasonic Avionics have unveiled a new concept model for business class suites named ‘MAYA’. The announcement was made at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) currently being held in Hamburg, Germany, where a mock-up is on display.
The two companies have integrated their expertise to take into account the comfort of future air travel experiences as well as passenger immersion, accessibility, and sustainability. They anticipate that the differentiation in business class will enhance customer satisfaction and profitability.
The seats are designed ergonomically to automatically optimize cushion pressure, adjust to the ambient temperature, and reduce in-flight vibration. The monitors are equipped with Panasonic Avionics’ ‘Astrova’, an ultra-high-resolution OLED display over 45 inches wide with a 21:9 ratio, triple the size of standard monitors. It aims to provide a cinema-like immersive experience, coupled with a headphone-less audio system that integrates speakers into the headrest.
Recyclable plant-based materials and the ‘STARLight’ composite structure are used to reduce waste and improve the circularity of the products.
