Here Are Facts About Airplane Interiors

By Deborah Wagner


The aerospace industry is one of the largest industries in the economy of the world. The rate at which the industry is expanding is mind-blowing and it is expected to continue doing so in the foreseeable future. The number of planes produced by major manufacturers seems to grow each year as research indicates that more and more people are using planes to travel today.

Again, the rapid growth in the industry of aerospace simultaneously pushes the industry of aircraft interiors to grow rapidly. Generally, the aircraft interior sector is considered the most rapidly growing sectors in the industry of aerospace. The aim of building airplane interiors is to ensure safety of onboard people and crew. More and more individuals are getting motivated to travel using planes due to this high level of safety which planes are offering passengers.

First, plane interior is made of lightweight material. This helps in reducing the total weight the plane supports. Even though lightweight, these materials are very strong and durable. They do not get easily damaged and can last for as long as the plane is in service. Lower weight also assists in reducing fuel consumption. Cutting on fuel consumption is important due to soaring fuel prices.

Plane interiors are sufficiently lit so that passengers and the crew can move around easily. Lights are mostly fitted into the ceiling. When the plane is landing, lights are dimmed for safety reasons. Dim lights help passengers to accustom themselves to darkness in case lights go off during landing. This way, people can exit more easily.

Seats in planes are usually cushioned with soft and smooth materials to promote comfort. The seats come in a wide range of materials, but usually synthetic leather is used. These material lines the entire seat starting from the headrest all the way to the armrests and the sitting platform itself. Footrests are usually made of metal because the are prone to getting dirty and metal makes it easy to clean.

Today, manufacturers in the aerospace industry struggle with the need of making more space for passengers. Part of attending to this problem includes increasing the size of luggage spaces and chairs. The aim of doing this is to ensure more private space to passengers. However, the need to accommodate more passengers usually counteracts the need for increasing personal space.

During emergencies, planes have oxygen masks that passengers can use. For instance, the system responsible for recycling air in the cabin may fail leading to difficulties in breathing. When this happens, passengers can use oxygen masks to continue breathing well until the problem is fixed. Alternatively, the plan can be landed if the problem cannot be fixed while it is in the air.

To finalize, the inside of a plane has temperature regulators for ensuring passengers always remain warm. Normally, the maintained temperature is that of the room temperature since it is taken that everybody is comfortable with this level of temperature. However, when need arises the temperature can either be reduced or increased.
