All About Cabin Management Systems
Cabin management systems in the modern day world are much more advanced than when they were first introduced. Modern cabin management systems have in-flight entertainment systems, DVD players, flight data recorder, audio reproducers, video reproducers and much more. These can be seen in many different types of designs including those manufactured from Avionics and In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) Parts, Goodrich Interiors, Rockwell Collins, Honeywell.

An airplane cabin is the part of an airplane where travelers can sit comfortably as they travel. At cruising elevations of modern day business travel, the climate is excessively tight for travelers inside the aircraft to inhale without a breathing device, so these cabins are pressurized at a higher weight than surrounding pressure at altitude. In business air travel, cabins might be separated into a few sections. These can incorporate travel class segments in medium and enormous airplane zones for airline stewards, the cookroom and capacity for in-flight administration. Seats are generally orchestrated in lines and rear entryways. The higher the movement class, the more space is given. Lodges of the distinctive travel classes are regularly partitioned by window ornaments, called class dividers, but not on all carriers. Travelers are not for the most part permitted to visit higher travel class lodges in business flights. Some airplane lodges contain traveler theater setups. Short and medium take lodges will in general have no or shared screens while long and ultra-long stretch flights frequently contain individual screens which permit travelers to pick what to watch on their own screen.
The cabins of new and even some older business aircraft are becoming a nexus for the latest developments in the commercial electronics market. Passengers are not only watching video on the latest high-definition flat screen monitors but also are using an array of personal devices, including iPhones, iPads and Androids, to connect to the Web and, increasingly, to control many of the functions of the cabin systems. The growing use of these technologies is putting pressure on designers of cabin management systems (CMS) to accommodate the newest products while preparing for those that may still only be on the drawing boards.
The emergence of these new products has not changed the fundamental role of the CMS, which is “to provide controls for the audiovisual and data distribution, window lighting and any kind of environmental controls,” such as adjusting temperature, said Lupita Ho, principal marketing manager for cabin systems at Rockwell Collins. However, these products are forcing CMS manufacturers to design flexible systems that support the latest digital applications.
For the most part, system adjustments are being pressed by consumer electronics innovations and the customer demand for the newest electronic devices. The importance of the electronics market is easily seen in promotional materials that boast Flight Display Systems’ support for most advanced high-definition 1080p video or PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game consoles. Many companies even offer gold-plated organic light emitting diode dynamic switches among its features.
In this rapidly changing market, it is difficult to keep up with the many new vendor offerings, but one trend is clear - the convergence of the handheld devices, especially Apple handheld products, with the onboard cabin systems. The most frequent requests concern the integration of carry-on media devices [most notably the iPad] into the in-flight entertainment system.
