The Airbus Corporate Jet Center (ACJC), the European consortium’s bizliner completion center in Toulouse, France, is here at EBACE (Booth 7040) presenting a new cabin concept. Engineers at the facility have also found ways to cut weight from its cabin interiors.
The new Bluejay ACJ319 cabin concept was inspired by the “avant-gardism, shapes and colors” of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey movie, according to in-house designer Sylvain Mariat. Passengers are greeted at the entrance with a hologram displaying their names. Then, just after boarding, they see the pièce de résistance of the cabin: partition walls made of transitional glass that can change from transparent to translucent at the flip of a switch to favor social interaction or privacy. The partitions can also act as loudspeakers, using a technology that makes the glass vibrate like a diaphragm and “providing concert hall-like sound,” according to Mariat.
