JBRND Making Windows Easier, Saving Clients Money
Luxury aircraft services company has created a custom window design to cut costs and improve lighting.

Jeff Bonner Research and Development (JBRND, Booth N3504) is shedding some light on its "new, one-of-a-kind" aircraft window system, which it says will eliminate the "frequent, inconvenient repairs caused by the string-based system inside most pleated shades." According to the San Antonio, Texas-based company, its custom belt-drive system has eliminated the need for any strings inside the window system. In testing, the new electric shade system performed more than a million cycles without a failure. A unique USB port on the controller enables programming and adjusting the system to customer requirements without have to remove the shade from the aircraft.
