Dassault Aviation Business Services has announced a passenger seating redesign concept for the Dassault Falcon 7X using 3D printing technology. The company refers to the design as a plug-and-play concept that slides into position over the existing seat frame.
It also said the redesign will be “operations friendly” and generate significant time savings for removal and installation. According to Dassault, the seat can be removed in less than a minute, reducing cost by negating the need for labor to be hired to remove the backrest. The new kit complies with all certification requirements (weight, retentions, absence of sharp edges, and burn testing) to be qualified as a minor modification.
In addition, the company has developed a range of smart cabinetry repair for high-gloss varnish interior can be done in situ at any location in just a few hours.
“When it comes to wood cabin appearance, the objective is to bridge the gap between the day a visual defect is reported and the next opportunity for a full cabin refurbishment,” said Cyrille Pillet, v-p of customer support and technical services at Dassault Aviation Business Services' Geneva Airport facility. "These set of repairs will be seen as a value for money temporary solution that does the job, especially for charter or intensive operations without negatively impacting aircraft operations.”
