The implementation of advanced gadgets on airplanes is not something new. Several times ago, airlines in United States are allowed to change their flight manuals with the iPad, such as printed manuals, safety checklists, logbooks, navigation charts, weather information, and airport diagrams.
It seems the success of the iPad is now followed by Android. Software from Google that’s commonly used in smartphones and tablets. Today, the software were selected by Boeing to become the platform of entertainment system on the plane in flight on future aircraft Dreamliner 787 series.
Reported by the Australian Business Traveller, Mark Larson, manager of the Boeing Dreamliner Gallery technique, all Boeing 787 will be equipped with a server based on Android and the touch screen. All the 787 Dreamliner are now able to get Android configured as an entertainment system in the plane.
For business and executive class, the entertainment system based on Android will not use the touch screen because the screen is very wide and far from the reach of the passenger. Instead use a simple motion sensor from the hand so that it can control the entertainment system. For economy class, touch screen panel is placed in the back seat with a wider perspective than the touch screen available today.
Touch screen entertainment devices will be provided like Thales and Panasonic which have received a certificate of entertainment devices in the aircraft. Both companies will also be a supplier of ready-made server. Both companies will also provide screens ranging from 7 inches to 17 inches. Boeing 787 Dreamliner also provide space for the socket to provide connectivity with a laptop and a USB port for economy class.
Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a medium-bodied aircraft that capable of carrying passengers as much as 200 to 350 people, depending on seating configuration. Boeing 787 Dreamliner claimed more fuel efficient than the previous generation of Boeing aircraft. According to Wikipedia, these aircraft use Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 and innovative General Electric engines GEnx 2B-12. The aircraft also has the latest version of the Honeywell radar designed to monitor the weather in front of the plane with a distance of 100,000 meters (100 km).
