Safran’s Aircelle division made a big impression on Paris Air Show visitors in June when it demonstrated its super-thin electroluminescent variable display lighting on an Airbus A380. For NBAA 2015 Aircelle (Booth N5317) has integrated the display onto a 370-microns-thin magnetically backed film that can be easily positioned on a business jet, turning it into an infinitely reprogrammable glowing canvas for images and animations. The jet literally glows with the Aircelle Illuminate the Sky system installed.
“This is a unique solution for business aircraft owners who want their aircraft to really stand out with customized personalization, and for corporate branding,” explained Serge Rière, Aircelle’s site and operations director. The French company is currently in discussions with several companies regarding multiple applications for the electro-luminescent displays.
