Focussing on passenger satisfaction and remaining responsive to shifts in passenger preferences and requirements is key to the design of future cabins. Awareness of the environmental impacts of aviation and the need to mitigate these effects through enhancements to operations and aircraft design has arguably never been greater. The nature of these challenges has been made even more complex by the ongoing disruption caused by COVID-19. New technologies are likely to play a key role in helping overcome these barriers, and we are already seeing exciting innovations in areas including in-flight passenger wellbeing, sustainability and personalisation. This presentation examines the role of emerging technology in the future aircraft cabin, examining onboard needs and requirements from a passenger’s perspective to better understand the capabilities and potential applications of various current and future aircraft cabin technologies. Cranfield University is inviting debate on the pros and cons of the resulting intelligent cabin proposals.
