Abstract
The Flying-V is a V-shaped airplane, which uses less fuel due its form. Passengers are in the oval cabin in the wing, which asks for an alternative design to the interior as the cabin is not in the flying direction. At the same time there is a demand for more comfortable interiors. 80 students were asked to develop interior design ideas for this Flying V concept. A jury of experts selected four aircraft interior concepts and these were developed and a 1:1 scale mockup was made, with a hybrid interior. It included chaise longue seats, the group space , beds and ‘staggered’ seats for the middle of the Flying V interior. This was shown at a KLM 100 years event. 1692 visitors of the mock-up gave their preference and the chaise longue received most votes. In the discussions valuable comments from potential passengers were collected on the selected concepts giving input for further development
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace (IJAAA) is a peer-reviewed publication for scholars from a variety of backgrounds including educators, industry personnel, and government researchers. The editorial focus is on the global issues that are currently facing the aviation, aeronautics, and aerospace segments. Example subject areas that would be appropriate for inclusion in the journal are: Underrepresented groups in aviation/aerospace Current aviation problems and solutions (e.g. NextGen, airport delays) Space launch and operations/missions Air traffic control Aeronautical engineering Unmanned systems Government research in aviation/aerospace Sciences, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education Crew and general resource management Aviation/aeronautics/aerospace primary, secondary, and higher education Aviation/aerospace manufacturing Aviation/aerospace safety Aviation/aerospace security Aviation/aerospace training Aviation/aerospace education Aviation/aerospace meteorology Aviation/aerospace navigation and avionics systems Aviation/aerospace maintenance Aviation/aerospace finance and management Aviation/aerospace logistics Aviation/aerospace legislation and regulation Aviation/aerospace medicine
