At the Farnborough International Airshow, the company demonstrated transparent displays for passengers and a new approach to head-up displays for pilots, applicable to multiple aircraft types. The Zeiss HUD's compact architecture reduces packaging volume by 80% compared with current systems, so it can fit into smaller cockpit spaces.

News and developments about everything that goes into the cabin of an aircraft, from floor coverings to headliners, with a special emphasis on in-flight entertainment, communications and other electronics for passengers. If it is in the cabin of an aircraft, it’s covered here.
