The Aerospace industry offers unique obstacles to raw material suppliers and manufacturers alike, from stringent quality standards to constant innovation challenges and time-sensitive supply chain deadlines.
In Marine applications, environmental challenges demand premium products with the durability to handle harsh weather conditions, corrosions risks and more while still offering high performance.
Innovations across both of these industries that prioritize well-being and health are creating enhanced experiences for passengers. Research and new technology are improving ergonomics, air quality, comfort and more.
Continue reading to explore how these innovations improved passenger experience, and to discover some of our innovative products supporting these two critical industries.
Innovative In-Flight Technology
With global flights now sometimes being as long as nearly 18 hours, prioritizing passenger comfort and well-being has become a huge focus of this industry. Pairing the length of flights with travel-related stress concerns has led aviation companies to find new ways to keep everyone on board at ease.
One example of these companies prioritizing comfort is optimized cabin lighting. Specifically for longer flights, some companies have been able to use onboard lighting systems which are designed to align with passengers’ day and night-time biorhythms, helping to optimize a normal sleep pattern while on board and alleviate jet lag.
Additional innovations to reduce stress and assist with sleep on board include active noise control, which provides passengers with comfortable and restful sleep by reducing background noise without requiring headphones. Additionally, some aircraft offer wellbeing and mindfulness meditation and relaxation videos on in-flight entertainment systems to support those with fear or flight or travel-related stress.
Health-Focused Flight Features
Along with prioritizing stress reduction and passenger comfort, innovations in the Aerospace industry also include integrating physical health focused amenities. Especially on longer flights where being confined in a tight space can be detrimental to posture, and air quality is a concern, these technological innovations are prioritizing the well-being of the passenger.
Air purification systems on board aircraft, including HEPA filters, carbon filters and ventilation systems, help to ensure air is clean and effectively circulated throughout a plane. Poor air quality for a long flight can lead to respiratory issues, discomfort and more, making it imperative that on board HVAC systems are working effectively.
Similar to workers who sit in an office, prioritizing ergonomic seating for aircraft passengers is crucial to maintaining proper posture and avoiding injury. Innovative aircraft seats that offer adjustable lumbar support, seat height and depth adjustments and more are becoming commonplace, to help reduce the risk of musculoskeletal discomfort and fatigue.
Additionally, some of the airlines which offer the increasingly long commercial flights are focusing their meal offerings on hydration and proper nutrition, taking into consideration the longer flight duration with less body movement.
Human Health Impacts of Cruise Tourism
In the Marine industry, relaxation and health are prioritized through the technological innovation found on cruise ships. Already considered a relaxing vacation option, these new technologies on luxury ships are further enhancing comfort and physical health for passengers.
In-room control systems are enhancing comfort, allowing for temperature and lighting control within passenger cabins. Many of these systems also feature tech features such as user-friendly television control, mobile phone integration with cabin settings and more.
Physical health benefit features, such as onboard ventilation systems to improve air quality, are another innovation which reduces health risks at sea.
For additional peace of mind on a cruise ship, research and innovations around sustainability, such as energy-efficient engines, the use of solar panels, and new waste management systems are helping to reduce carbon emissions and improve sustainability within this sector of the Marine industry.
