Some of the world’s most advanced aircraft are the beneficiaries of advanced aircraft design and systems.
Solar Powered Window Shades
Last year, a company known as B/E Aerospace patented aircraft solar powered window shades that produced electricity to power passenger personal devices during flights. The Crystal Cabin Awards, or the “Oscars of airplane interiors” presented its Industrial Design & Visionary Concept Award to B/E Aerospace at last year’s Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany.
The following video shows how B/E Aerospace’s solar powered window shades work.
