Panasonic Avionics and Collins Aerospace have unveiled MAYA, a transformative vision for a next-generation business class suite, at the Aircraft Interiors Expo 2024 in Hamburg, Germany.
MAYA is for the next generation of tech-savvy passengers. The suite is designed to elevate the onboard experience, and enable airlines to enhance loyalty and boost profitability. It combines the companies’ expertise in design, technology development and integration into a singular solution, and will redefine comfort, passenger immersion, accessibility and sustainability.
The cinematic centerpiece of the suite is a 45-inch ultra-wide curved 5K OLED display with headphone-less audio system, providing users unprecedented immersion, customization and viewing experiences.
Our CEO, Ken Sain, said: "MAYA is the product of the leading inflight technology provider and the largest airplane seat manufacturer collaborating to create the future of business class for the next generation of tech-savvy passengers. The seamlessly integrated 45” Astrova Curve OLED display is 3 times larger than typical screens and the first Ultra-Widescreen CinemaScope (21:9) display in the sky – the same screen format in cinemas. Based on field of view, MAYA delivers a 50% more immersive viewing experience than sitting in a theater.”
“MAYA is the fusion of enhanced physical, digital and smart technologies that exponentially enhance the cabin experience in ways individual solutions are unable to accomplish on their own,” said Edward Dryden, president of Interiors at Collins Aerospace. “Unprecedented customization and user control provides uniquely personal in-flight experiences – bridging historical gaps in accessibility, enabling multi-dimensional comfort and facilitating immersive in-flight entertainment.”
