Aloft AeroArchitects introduced a new cabin systems framework, known as modular open-source architecture in-cabin (Mosaic), this week at Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in Hamburg, Germany. Developed in collaboration with a group of aircraft systems and component suppliers, Mosaic is based on principles from the U.S. Department of Defense’s modular open-systems approach, focusing on modularity, interoperability, and open standards.
“We are excited to partner with industry leaders to bring the Mosaic concept to life,” said Colby Hall, Aloft’s managing director of emerging technologies and innovation. “This collaboration underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence in aerospace cabin design, enhancing passenger experience and supporting a sustainable future in aviation.”
The Mosaic approach aims to enable more flexible cabin configurations and incremental technology adoption. It proposes a shift away from closed, proprietary systems toward an open architecture that supports compatibility across multiple suppliers.
Aloft has already applied elements of Mosaic in select Boeing Business Jets projects and is preparing to open an innovation lab at its Delaware facility to support further testing and collaboration later this year.
