Santa's gift to himself: NorthOne powered by FACC

To deliver presents to children all over the world in one night, Father Christmas needs more than just a sleigh and a team of reindeer. After Santa Claus already conquered airspace over a thousand years ago, it is now time to take the next step. The evolution of mobility has reached the North Pole and is also affecting the way Father Christmas gets around the world. For this reason, Santa decided to use the entire portfolio of FACC to improve his sleigh.Our offer to Santa: The latest technology and maximum comfort - so that the next thousand years of Christmas are also secured.

Sustainable air travel of the future

Individual mobility is a basic human need. It is a sign of personal freedom and independence - and contributes significantly to intercultural understanding: people wish to travel, and travelling connects individuals and countries. In this blog post, we will take a look at how large the aviation industry's share in global CO2 emissions is and what goals have been set for the next few years.

#Equaleverywhere: Flying barrier-free

Personal mobility is a basic human need. Yet the corona pandemic has made each of us acutely aware of how painful limitations to personal mobility are. While for the majority of people these restrictions are temporary, there is also another group: People with Reduced Mobility (PRMs) are confronted with mobility restrictions every day, even outside the corona crisis - including in air travel. The aviation industry is therefore working intensively to remove barriers for PRMs as best as possible, while at the same time successively increasing the level of comfort and thus making air travel an attractive and comfortable form of mobility for all people.
In this context, so-called single-aisle aircraft are increasingly coming into focus. Even before the Corona crisis, this type of aircraft was in greater demand than wide-body aircraft - and the trend is still upwards.

Accessible travel: Thinking beyond horizons!

Flying is often associated with freedom - one of our most important fundamental rights. Accessible travel is an important keyword here: numerous regulations are designed to ensure that persons with reduced mobility (PRM) are not disadvantaged in any way. Aircraft are supposed to offer barrier-free access to lavatories, seats and much more - but not all fleets offer a barrier-free flight experience. Reasons for this are partly due to the different regulations of individual countries or state associations. The following BLOG provides an overview of the most important legal regulations.

Passengers with Reduced Mobility (PRMs) - one of the fastest growing passenger groups in aviation

To understand the needs of a passenger with reduced mobility, we should be aware that the demand is increasing. All demographic indicators show that the population is ageing worldwide. More than one fifth of the world's population in 2050 will have some form of disability, which includes age-related mobility problems.

Hygiene and prevention measures to control the transmission of COVID-19 in aircraft cabins

The COVID-19 pandemic has put the aviation industry in one of its biggest crises [1]. A majority of countries imposed travel restrictions to control the spread of COVID-19, resulting in a significant decrease in tourist travel. Currently, according to the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), 32% of destinations around the world are completely closed to international tourism.

BIOS - FUTURE CABIN

In designing BIOS-FUTURE CABIN, FACC is working with a completely new design approach for the first time. The holistic concept combines the design disciplines Interior, Exterior and Passenger Experience (PX) from the very first sketch. Nature, people and their perception are the starting point for a design process from the inside out. The design process starts with the passenger experience and deliberately focuses on passenger perception and needs. The goal is to create a cabin concept that expands the passengers‘ perception. It also aims to create an immersive experience where passengers connect with each other, the cabin and the environment in a unique way.

Accessible travel: Thinking beyond horizons!

Flying is often associated with freedom - one of our most important fundamental rights. Accessible travel is an important keyword here: numerous regulations are designed to ensure that persons with reduced mobility (PRM) are not disadvantaged in any way. Aircraft are supposed to offer barrier-free access to lavatories, seats and much more - but not all fleets offer a barrier-free flight experience. Reasons for this are partly due to the different regulations of individual countries or state associations. The following BLOG provides an overview of the most important legal regulations.

Interiors - High-Volume Production for a Successful Future

Passenger aircraft can only earn money when they are in the air. For companies fitting out the interiors of new aircraft, this means swift delivery ensuring commissioning at the earliest possible date. When it comes to the manufacturing of interiors components, a high-volume production of units is essential. FACC has set itself the goal of developing a system for CFRP passenger cabin parts that ensures a serial manufacturing of large numbers of parts while keeping production times as short as possible.

#Equaleverywhere: Flying barrier-free

Personal mobility is a basic human need. Yet the corona pandemic has made each of us acutely aware of how painful limitations to personal mobility are. While for the majority of people these restrictions are temporary, there is also another group: People with Reduced Mobility (PRMs) are confronted with mobility restrictions every day, even outside the corona crisis - including in air travel. The aviation industry is therefore working intensively to remove barriers for PRMs as best as possible, while at the same time successively increasing the level of comfort and thus making air travel an attractive and comfortable form of mobility for all people.
In this context, so-called single-aisle aircraft are increasingly coming into focus. Even before the Corona crisis, this type of aircraft was in greater demand than wide-body aircraft - and the trend is still upwards.

Passengers with Reduced Mobility (PRMs) - one of the fastest growing passenger groups in aviation

To understand the needs of a passenger with reduced mobility, we should be aware that the demand is increasing. All demographic indicators show that the population is ageing worldwide. More than one fifth of the world's population in 2050 will have some form of disability, which includes age-related mobility problems.

Sharing economy and the mobility of tomorrow

In order to get from A to B, many solutions have been established on the market in recent years that eliminate the need to own a car. A large proportion of these solutions relate to the Sharing Economy approach, which is based on the shared use of mobility solutions. These mobility services need to be highly frequented in order to become profitable and viable in the long term. Consequently, these developments can be observed above all in urban areas, as they are associated with a higher population density and thus a higher probability of use. Overall, sharing mobility solutions have an impact on the sustainable symbiosis of ecology and economy.
