Boosting innovation

Our research and development activities are the basis for ever-new concepts for optimizing not only technological performance but also the flight experience for passengers. Covering topics from cabin to avionics, electronics, illumination, energy, safety and fire protection, its innovations have won Diehl Aviation the prominent Crystal Cabin Award four times. The last trophy was recently won for the new Powerline Communication at last year's CCA award during the Aircraft Interiors Expo 2017 in category Cabin Systems.

  • Cabin Management & Service Systems
    Cabin Management & Service Systems Cabin Management & Service Systems

    Intelligent systems are open to new ideas

    New and further developments in the field of electrical services are constantly changing the cabin's appearance. Especially the scope of cabin electronics functions such as lighting, galley, board entertainment or water and waste systems is constantly expanding thanks to the innovative strength in aviation. Flexible, modular cabin management systems such as the Diehl Cabin Management and Services System (CMSS) are designed to be able to effectively integrate existing control architectures in the shortest possible time. The different "languages" of the devices here are translated into one "universal language" and bundled in a central interface, the Attendant Control Panel (ACP). New devices are incorporated via hubs, and information about their structure and function is entered into the overall system. In return, the control surface of the central interface now can be used to issue commands to the newly incorporated device. CMSS and the incorporated devices can be controlled via any number of touch screens inside the cabin, making it easier in the future for the crew to get an overview over various tasks. Along the lines of "many eyes see more than one", each crew member has equal access to the CMSS. This makes it possible to organize workflows more efficiently and to free up more time for personal attention to passengers.

    Visions for the future

    The ACP as "controlling brain" of contemporary cabin electronics will be able to expand its knowledge and skills autonomously by integrating sensor technology and Internet access as KI, and will grow "hands, eyes, and ears". An intelligent system that keeps on learning and in the future, will autonomously perform additional tasks such as self-maintenance or individual passenger requests. By designing ever more life-like CMSS, we create the conditions for making tomorrow's cabin ready for future innovations.

  • DIANA: Cabin Design Concept
    DIANA: Cabin Design Concept DIANA: Cabin Design Concept

    DIANA is a generic cabin design concept with a unique and visionary cabin design language. The concept takes a holistic approach, combining all lining parts (side walls, bins, ceilings, and monuments such as lavatories and galleys) with innovative design features such as organic, convex and concave surfaces, edges, and facets. The cabin lighting system interacts with the design elements by using light and shadow to create a new cabin experience for passengers. This concept was developed as a part of the research project "DIANA".

    Fire suppression systems in cargo holds of passenger aircraft are currently using halon as fire suppression agent. Halon as one of the most striking ozone depletion agents is banned from production worldwide and will be excluded from new EASA aircraft program certifications from 2018 on. This drives the need for a replacement without drawbacks in any of the known fire scenarios.

    The toilet lid and seat open and close without touching and are moved by an automatic and electric drive. The lid closes before flushing so that the noise level is minimized. In case of any power loss or drive failure, the toilet unit can still be operated manually. The lavatory therefore can remain in service despite of a possible defect. All passenger safety aspects are considered.

    Ovens are often not used on short-haul flights while hand stowage is limited in aircraft cabins. The newly-developed, cost-efficient Plug ’n’ Stow Module is a simple drop-in replacement for any standard ATLAS inserts (oven, fridge, etc.). The module extends on-board storage space and frees up overhead bins for passenger luggage by moving emergency equipment, crew luggage, or other items into the additional space created in the galley. The module is fully retrofit-enabled as no modifications are required and supports flexibility in different catering service approaches.

    Currently the layout of a single aisle aircraft includes a lavatory on the lefthand side and a galley on the right-hand side. Both monuments need individual system interfaces for services such as power, water, and waste water. SYLVIA is a concept which was developed for single aisle aircraft and combines both lavatory and galley monuments in one module on the right-hand side using synergetic systems. The free space that this generates on the left-hand side can be customized for various uses.
