Interior component manufacturer Ingenio Aerospace has developed new cabin tablet arms that not only fit into Rockwell Collins Venue or CES cabin receptacles, but also integrate with the Rockwell Collins (Booth V71) cabin management system (CMS).

 


Ingenio arms and tablet holders feature integrated power connections for device charging, meet FAA Part 25 regulations, and are qualified to RTCA DO-160G standards, simplifying the installation process on any aircraft. Also aiding the installation process is that the arms and tablet holders are treated as loose equipment, according to Ingenio.

 


The Ingenio products are made with lightweight aluminum and accommodate all types of popular tablets. Its cabin product suite also includes Type A and C drop-in USB charging outlets that fit in Venue and CES receptacles. Passengers can easily remove the tablet arms and holders for takeoff and landing, and they are easily positionable for portrait- or landscape-mode viewing. Ingenio provides finish options to match interior furnishings.

News and developments about everything that goes into the cabin of an aircraft, from floor coverings to headliners, with a special emphasis on in-flight entertainment, communications and other electronics for passengers. If it is in the cabin of an aircraft, it’s covered here.
