    Great to see our recycling code marked spar spreader pictured in this Aviation Week Network article by John Walton. At Unum, we’ve collaborated with the Green Cabin Alliance (GCA) on a solution that involves adding a material identifier code to each and every part number in our seats, referenced to the Component Maintenance Manual (CMM) and the GCA’s website. Adding these recycling codes are one of our key sustainability initiatives in conjunction with the GCA. Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/ekFFQ9x5 #GCA #Aircraftseating #sustainability

    Fancy a read on the i+s cabin research project? Writing for Runway Girl Network after his experience at Aircraft Interiors Expo, John Walton shared his thoughts on the new communication standard helping to combine cabin component data to gain new insights. One of the specific use cases mentioned was our Unum One business class seat with a Bühler Motor actuation system on the Unum stand, live reporting on status (operational, reclined/upright etc.) to the main systems display in the i+s cabin conference room. This solution will bring significant benefits for predicative seat maintainance. The future is connected! Read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/eVXAi_34 #ConnectedSeat #AircraftCabin

    High above the show floors of this year’s Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg was a conference room filled with representatives from the eighteen-member i+s cabin research partnership, demonstrating how they are working to move aircraft e-enablement, backend Internet of Things communications and connected cabin components beyond the ARINC 853 standard to real-world implementation. Funded and sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, the i+s cabin partners range from Boeing and Airbus through tier 1 suppliers like Safran Cabin and Diehl Aerospace (the consortium leader), together with subsuppliers and academic researchers. https://lnkd.in/eVXAi_34

    It’s work experience time for the aerospace engineers of the future 💺🌎 This week, we welcomed Robbie McInnes, studying BEng Mechanical Engineering & Aeronautics at University of Glasgow. Over the next few weeks, Robbie will get hands-on experience across all the engineering disciplines at Unum, plus advanced product development of a mechanism for one of our award-winning seats. Already halfway through his first week, Robbie says, 'It's been great to apply some of my learnings to developing a real-world solution for the business class seating sector. I can’t wait to see some of my work on a future Unum seat'. Drop some of your work experience stories in the comments to inspire Robbie as he continues working at Unum. #workexperience #aircraftseating

    TESTING, TESTING! We’ve been busy at Unum, completing yet another successful week of dynamic testing✅ As our dummy prepares to accelerate to 16G in less than the blink of an eye, they’re calmer than ever… Why? Because both Unum One and Unum Two have undergone extensive, CAA witnessed dynamic testing proving our ADOA capacity and capability. It's ready, set, go for our next C127c TSO approval! #DynamicTesting #TSOapproval
