CAHSSA - Cabin Health, Social and Selfservice Area
Overview
Background & policy context:
CASHA constitutes a project for technology development, realised by Tricon Design AG and B&W Engineering GmBH&Co. KG.
On board aircrafts during flight, galleys are only utilised partially. Only flight crews have the permission to use their facilities while passengers, even if they would like to serve themselves, need to wait for service by the cabin crew. For several reasons the projects seeks for ways to make the galleys accessible for both, the flight crew and the passengers.
The advantages of letting passengers use the galleys are manifold. Physical and mental activity can improve the in-flight comfort and help to avoid health damages like thrombosis or similar.
Objectives:
the RTD work in the project at the creation of “health, social and selfservice areas” which are compatible with existing galleys; remodeling with real and virtual effects should have a positive influence on the passengers “temporary residence” for more comfort during flights.
Methodology:
The CAHSSA project is a pure technology development task. The objective of more passenger comfort during the flight shall be achieved in a first step by technical and economic assessment of concepts addressing the key issues:
- physical and mental comfort of the passenger
- autonomously working and separated exhalation areas
- ensurance of product quality in the self-service area
These concepts shall provide a basis for re-designing the galleys on board of aircrafts in the short and medium term future.
