Here Is Some Information About Airplane Interiors

By Deborah Wagner


The world economy has many major industries, and the aerospace industry is one of them. This industry is growing at a rate that is incomparable and statistics indicate that the growth will continue several years into the future. With more people travelling using planes, major makers of planes are doubling the number of planes they produce each year.

Again, the rapid growth in the industry of aerospace simultaneously pushes the industry of aircraft interiors to grow rapidly. Generally, the aircraft interior sector is considered the most rapidly growing sectors in the industry of aerospace. The aim of building airplane interiors is to ensure safety of onboard people and crew. More and more individuals are getting motivated to travel using planes due to this high level of safety which planes are offering passengers.

First of all, interiors of planes are designed with lightweight materials to help in the reduction of the weight that the plane has to support. Although the materials are lightweight, they are also very strong and durable to be able to offer the kind of service they do. The materials are also light because it helps to cut down on fuel consumption. This is particularly important due to the continuous rise in aircraft fuel.

The interior of planes are usually well lit to ensure that passengers and the crew onboard have an easy time moving around. The lights are usually placed in various places to achieve this. However, in most cases, the lights are placed on the ceiling of the plane. When the plane is landing, lights are usually dimmed by the crew so that the eyes of the passengers can get accustomed to the dim light in case of an emergency landing.

To make sure that passengers are comfortable, smooth and soft materials are used to cushion seats in planes. Synthetic leather tends to be the most widely used material even though other materials are in use as well. Most parts of the chair that the passenger comes in contact with are cushioned, including armrests, headrests, the seat, and backrests. Footrests are made using metal because of the manner in which they are used.

Today, manufacturers in the aerospace industry struggle with the need of making more space for passengers. Part of attending to this problem includes increasing the size of luggage spaces and chairs. The aim of doing this is to ensure more private space to passengers. However, the need to accommodate more passengers usually counteracts the need for increasing personal space.

Planes are designed with oxygen masks for use during emergency situations. For instance, in case there is a problem with the air recycling system on the plane, passengers would have a hard time breathing. To solve this problem, cabins are designed with oxygen masks that passengers can use until the problem has been resolved or the plane has landed.

To finalize, the inside of a plane has temperature regulators for ensuring passengers always remain warm. Normally, the maintained temperature is that of the room temperature since it is taken that everybody is comfortable with this level of temperature. However, when need arises the temperature can either be reduced or increased.
