Concept Aerospace Technologies

Gentex is raising the in-flight experience with concept technologies that identify hazardous airborne contaminants, optimize cabin lighting, and identify passengers to provide a personalized flight experience.

Biometrics

Biometric authentication allows passengers to securely access their unique flight information. A quick iris scan could provide:

• Gate numbers and  connecting flight information
• Access to entertainment accounts
• Automatic payment for in-flight purchases

Smart Lighting

Intelligent aircraft cabin lighting that uses a combination of CMOS imagers and focused LED pods to shine light when and where it’s needed.

• Illuminate task areas without bothering passengers
• Automatically optimize seat lighting for reading, eating, and working
• Ideal for aisles, galleys, cockpits and baggage compartments

Sensing

Another Gentex emerging technology in aerospace is a comprehensive environmental sensing unit.

• Chemical and particulate sensing 
• Uses a variety of sensing methods
• Tuned to identify explosive or incendiary components
• Monitors cabin air quality while detecting smoke, vape and other airborne contaminants

Smart Glass

Using proprietary transflective coatings, this mirror-integrated display concept can be used for flight-related information on private aircrafts.

• Display integrated behind reflective glass
• Perfect for displaying flight information and in-flight entertainment
• Can be combined with biometrics for secure access to cockpit, safes, etc.
