Modular Reconfigurable Aircraft Cabin Interiors

全球航空业正越来越多地投资于机舱内饰研究，以开发新的 技术来优化乘客体验，因此加拿大航空业必须迎头赶上。由于 在商务机和商用飞机中，越来越多的客户要求 飞机内饰可提供灵活的配置。集成商正在寻求模块化的内部设计，但这 只能提供部分解决方案。庞巴迪等飞机制造商正寻求评估 并将新技术商业化，以帮助提供更多的定制、灵活的操作、 以及商务舱和商用飞机舱内乘客的舒适性。这项研究的目的是 基于乘客舒适度的飞机座舱重构设计分析方法及原型研究 包括座椅、照明、气流和噪音。这项研究计划是一项拟议中的合作项目， Ryerson，Queens和UTIAS，为期2年，由三个研究支柱组成：设计、分析和 实施。设计支柱就是要拿出一种让乘客舒适度最大化的设计方法。这个 分析支柱是提供一种模拟工具来评估乘客的舒适度因素，以指导机舱内部 重新配置。实施支柱是创建用于重新配置实施的原型，以 实现旅客舒适度提升。包括可变内部结构在内的多项关键技术 (VIS)和自适应面板(VP)、布局和拓扑优化、照明技术、气候控制 进行了开发和演示。瑞尔森、女王和犹他州的一些研究生将成为 培养成为新的工程师和一大批本科生将通过工业 实习将成为这一领域的新劳动力。通过该项目实现行业互动和协作 将有助于为加拿大的飞机内饰设计和制造业务创造一个利基市场。这个项目将 成为目前正在开发的Downsview航空航天枢纽的协调中心之一。

The worldwide aircraft industry is increasingly investing in cabin interiors research to develop new technologies to optimize passenger experience, so the Canadian aircraft industry must catch up. Due to the multiple customer requirements in both business and commercial aircraft, it is increasingly mandatory that aircraft interiors be available in flexible configurations. Integrators are seeking to modularize interiors, but this only serves to provide a partial solution. Aircraft manufacturers, such as Bombardier, are seeking to evaluate and commercialize new technologies that can help to provide increased customization, flexible manipulation, and comfort to passengers in business and commercial aircraft cabins. The objective of this research is to develop a design/analysis method and a prototype for aircraft cabin reconfiguration based on passenger comfort including seating, lighting, airflow and noise. This research program is a proposed collaboration between Ryerson, Queens, and UTIAS for a period of 2 years, consisting of three research pillars: design, analysis, and implementation. The design pillar is to come up with a design method to maximize passenger comfort. The analysis pillar is to provide a simulation tool to assess passenger comfort factors to guide cabin interior reconfiguration. The implementation pillar is to create a prototype for reconfiguration implementation to achieve passenger comfort enhancement. A number of key technologies including variable interior structure (VIS) and adaptive panel (VP), layout and topology optimization, lighting techniques, climate control, will be developed and demonstrated. A number of graduate students across Ryerson, Queen's and UTIAS will be trained to become new engineers and a large number of undergraduates will be trained through industrial internship to become new workforce in this field. Industrial interaction and collaboration through this project will help to create a niche for aircraft interior design and manufacturing business in Canada. This project will be one of the focal points for the Downsview Aerospace Hub currently under development.
