PPG Aerospace (Stand E83) is offering visitors live demos of its Alteos interactive window system, an electrochromic shade that replaces manual or electromechanical pull-down models. The system, just certified on the Hawker Beechcraft King Air 350i business aircraft, is to fly soon on the Boeing 787 airliner.
The Alteos windows are to be installed on the third flight-test Boeing 787, PPG global director for commercial transparencies Mark Cancilla told AIN. The Huntsville, Alabama-based company has delivered several shipsets to Boeing and is talking with Airbus about using them on the A350. Cancilla described the price as “four digits” in U.S. dollars per window, without naming a specific figure.
