FRANGIBLE
SUITE DOOR
Collins has developed the Frangible Suite Door, designed
to provide a more isolated business class experience while
complying with current safety regulatory requirements. The
name of the design is in reference to its innovative latching
system, which allows the door to completely separate from its
carriages during an emergency, thereby permitting the passenger
to exit unencumbered. The door fits within the standard seating
footprint so it does not reduce revenue-generating seat count.

Smart BYOD
Geven’s R&D team has devised and
patented a PED holder that can be
perfectly integrated into a seatback.
The solution is light, functional,
user intuitive and versatile, and can
accommodate all the latest PEDs on
the market.
The Frangible
Suite Door is
shortlisted for
the 2020 Crystal
Cabin Awards
TOYOTA’S NEW
GENERATION
SEATING
Toyota Boshoku has introduced the second generation of its
economy class seating range. The company is still a relative
newcomer to the aircraft industry, but its seat designs benefit
from its deep knowledge of the automotive seating sector.
The development of the second-generation seats has focused
on seating comfort, the usability of the meal table, and styling
tweaks to maximise the perception of cabin spaciousness. Thus
the seat is designed to stabilise the lower back, reducing muscle
fatigue and maintaining a relaxed posture. The surface area of
the meal table has been maximised and includes a patented cup
holder design which reduces friction when picking up a paper cup.
TSI Seats enters
Airbus BFE catalogue
In Q1 2020 TSI Seats entered Airbus’s Buyer Furnished
Equipment (BFE) catalogue. This arrangement builds on
a cooperation between the two companies that began in
2015, and TSI Seats’ Skysofa and Epianka economy
class models will feature in the future
products section of Airbus’s BFE
catalogue for the A350 XWB, A330 and
A320 aircraft families. Additional seat
models like the Elesa S economy class
seat and Royalux, TSI’s first
business class product, will
also be added into the
potential future products
section of the catalogue
once their certification
phase is completed.
