WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Collins Aerospace, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business will unveil its cabin solution for onboard wheelchair accommodation next week at the annual Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany. The Collins product is compatible with most WC19 and ISO 7176-19 transport-certified powered wheelchair devices, allowing passengers with reduced mobility (PRM) an inflight experience more equivalent to that of able-bodied passengers.

北卡羅來納州溫斯頓·塞勒姆,2024年5月20日 /PRNewswire/ — RTX(紐約證券交易所代碼:RTX)旗下的柯林斯航空航天公司將於下週在德國漢堡舉行的年度飛機內飾博覽會上推出其用於機上輪椅住宿的客艙解決方案。柯林斯產品與大多數經過 WC19 和 ISO 7176-19 運輸認證的電動輪椅設備兼容,使行動不便的乘客 (PRM) 獲得與身體健全的乘客更相似的機上體驗。

Implementation involves installation of a restraint system at the front of a narrow body aircraft to accommodate a wheelchair user. Restraining the wheelchair in place is simple and can easily be carried out by on-board crews without requiring assistance from maintenance staff.

實施包括在窄體飛機前部安裝約束系統,以容納輪椅使用者。將輪椅限制在原位很簡單,無需維護人員的協助即可由機上工作人員輕鬆完成。

"Enabling motorized wheelchair users to remain in their chair is imperative to providing a more equitable and dignified air travel experience to the millions of people who rely on personal mobility devices in their everyday lives," said Cynthia Muklevicz, vice president of customer and business development for Collins Aerospace. "Innovating solutions that enhance the inflight and cabin experience is fundamental to the mission of Collins. We're confident this certifiable solution1 will help eliminate barriers, opening greater possibilities to a wider population to more conveniently experience the excitement and necessity of air travel."

柯林斯宇航客戶和業務發展副總裁辛西婭·穆克萊維奇表示:“讓電動輪椅使用者能夠坐在椅子上,對於爲數百萬在日常生活中依賴個人出行設備的人提供更公平和更有尊嚴的航空旅行體驗至關重要。”“創新解決方案以增強機上和客艙體驗是柯林斯使命的基礎。我們對這個可認證的解決方案充滿信心1 將有助於消除障礙,爲更多的人群開闢更大的可能性,讓他們更方便地體驗航空旅行的刺激和必要性。”

Boarding and deplaning are also simplified, not only reducing the risk of personal injury and discomfort associated with transporting individuals in and out of their wheelchairs, but also greatly reducing instances of mishandled wheelchairs during the check-in, handling and stowage processes. In recent tests at the National Institute of Aviation Research (NIAR) the boarding process with the Collins solution was shown to be akin to the average ground transportation experience – harmonizing the air travel experience with the typical accommodations found in other modes of transportation.

登機和下機也得到了簡化,這不僅降低了運送人員進出輪椅時造成人身傷害和不適的風險,而且還大大減少了在辦理登機手續、搬運和裝載過程中輪椅處理不當的情況。在美國國家航空研究所(NIAR)最近的測試中,柯林斯解決方案的登機過程被證明與普通的地面交通體驗相似,使航空旅行體驗與其他交通方式中的典型住宿條件相一致。

Installation of the Collins solution involves an integrated restraint system and seat belt attachments securing both wheelchair and passenger. The restraint system is stowed when not in use. The Collins solution utilizes unused space and does not require seat removal or modification, maintaining a consistent experience for all passengers and allowing airlines to operate with existing densities.

柯林斯解決方案的安裝涉及集成的約束系統和安全帶附件,用於固定輪椅和乘客。約束系統在不使用時可存放。柯林斯解決方案利用未使用的空間,無需拆卸或修改座位,從而爲所有乘客保持一致的體驗,並允許航空公司以現有密度運營。

Demonstrations of Collins' integrated seating solution will be held during the Aircraft Interiors Exhibition, May 28-30.

柯林斯綜合座椅解決方案的演示將在5月28日至30日的飛機內飾展覽期間舉行。
