Collins Aerospace, a company under RTX, has introduced new products designed to enhance the passenger experience at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX). The focus is on the Pinnacle main cabin seats and the Prime wheelchair solution.
The Pinnacle seats will have three upgrade options aimed at maximizing service life and investment. The upgrades, named Pinnacle Aspire, Pinnacle Aspire+, and Pinnacle MQ, offer various new features including advanced in-flight entertainment screens, USB charging, and improved seating configurations. A statement from Collins Aerospace explained: “The novel approach reuses a significant portion of existing componentry to upgrade each seat, providing significant recyclability benefits, while also preserving the foundational integrity, longevity, and investment in the new product.”
Sean Lyons, Vice President of Business Development of Interiors Service and Support at Collins Aerospace, commented on their commitment to customer problems. “Our large seating install base and global aftermarket support structure provides a unique opportunity to present our customers swift, and elegant cabin modernization options.”
