Aircraft Cabin and Aircraft Cockpit

We design and construct aircraft cabins and cockpits according to our clients' visions, ideas and requirements. Based on concept studies, we create prototypes and mock-ups to ensure the integration of individual components into the cabin or cockpit.

The design of aircraft cabins and cockpits can involve new aircraft under development or the refurbishment and replacement of equipment on older aircraft. Especially on older aircraft, cabin equipment often shows significant wear and tear due to the high level of use in daily flight operations. New cabin layouts or cabin reconfigurations can be considered during modernization and refurbishment.

COMAC/UAC - CRAIC CR929 Long-haul Aircraft

CRAIC [China-Russia Commercial Aircraft International Corporation] unveiled the CR929 long-range aircraft with a full-size mock-up at the China Air Show in Zhuhai in November 2018. BAIDEG designed and delivered the aircraft mock-up, including the entire functional cabin and cockpit, in a turnaround time of just eleven months. The company "müller|romca industrial design" was a strong development partner.

Key elements included the entrance area, the doors, the sidewall panels, the electrically dimmable cabin windows, and the electrically operated, lowerable overhead compartments, which can be remotely controlled both individually and centrally from the cabin management system (CMS or FAP [Flight Attendant Panel]). The cabin ceiling, which serves as a projection surface and, with up to 24 projectors, leaves nothing to be desired in terms of projected images and videos, e.g., starry skies, twilight, northern lights (Aurora Polaris), can be coordinated with the cabin's mood lighting system.

Our specialists also delivered functional seats for all three classes with a highly attractive design, a galley, a lavatory, and a bar in the entrance area where passengers can enjoy refreshments. The cabin was equipped with a modern in-flight entertainment system (IFE), which also supports the use of personal mobile phones or notepads, as well as video conferencing with traveling friends. Simply connect the personal equipment to the IFE-system.

BAIDEG also designed and supplied the entire cockpit with support from Cockpitsonic GmbH. The systems are functional, and with minimal effort, the CR929 cockpit can be expanded into a stationary simulator.

The 1:1 scale mock-up structure was designed and manufactured in collaboration with Robert Hofmann GmbH. The mock-up can be packed into 140 boxes and metal support frames, allowing it to be transported on some Boeing B747 cargo aircraft.

AVIC - MA700 Turboprop Aircraft

AVIC unveiled the MA700 propeller aircraft with a full-size mock-up at the China Air Show in Zhuhai in November 2014. BAIDEG designed and delivered the aircraft mock-up, including the entire functional cabin and cockpit, in a turnaround time of just thirteen months. The company "müller|romca industrial design" supported the development work.

Key elements included the entrance and exit areas, the large luggage compartments designed to accommodate standard hand luggage, the cabin ceiling with mood lighting, a galley, and a lavatory. In addition, functional seats with a very attractive design were delivered for business and economy class. The cabin was equipped with a modern entertainment system.

BAIDEG also designed and supplied the entire cockpit. The systems are functional, and with minimal effort, the MA700 cockpit can be expanded into a stationary simulator.

AVIC also wanted the front and rear cargo compartments to be manufactured true to the original layout, with appropriate cargo securing systems.

Air Macao A319/A320 Cabin Reconfiguration

Air Macao modernized its Airbus A319 and A320 fleet. The worn-out cabins were renovated, and the business class seats were increased to 16 each. Initially, numerous concepts and designs were reviewed with the client. The final design, created in collaboration with the company "müller|romca industrial design", can be seen in the following images.

A completely new fabric was developed and manufactured for the economy class seats. The partitions also received a custom print of the skyline of Macau. Comparing the "old" and "new" images shows the impressive results of the work following the reconfiguration and installation of the modernized aircraft cabin. The side wall panels, ceiling panels, storage compartments, the business and economy class seats, the partitions with a new design, the carpet, the floor guide line, etc. were redesigned, reworked and/or replaced.

Thanks to the extensive preparations, the work was completed within a 24-day layover period. Certification of the renewals, repairs, and overhauls was carried out in accordance with EASA Part 145 regulations.
