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.

北卡罗来纳州温斯顿·塞勒姆,2024年5月20日 /PRNewswire/ — RTX(纽约证券交易所代码:RTX)旗下的柯林斯航空航天公司将于下周在德国汉堡举行的年度飞机内饰博览会上推出其用于机上轮椅住宿的客舱解决方案。柯林斯产品与大多数经过 WC19 和 ISO 7176-19 运输认证的电动轮椅设备兼容,使行动不便的乘客 (PRM) 获得与身体健全的乘客更相似的机上体验。

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.

实施包括在窄体飞机前部安装约束系统,以容纳轮椅使用者。将轮椅限制在原位很简单,无需维护人员的协助即可由机上工作人员轻松完成。

"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."

柯林斯宇航客户和业务发展副总裁辛西娅·穆克莱维奇表示:“让电动轮椅使用者能够坐在椅子上,对于为数百万在日常生活中依赖个人出行设备的人提供更公平和更有尊严的航空旅行体验至关重要。”“创新解决方案以增强机上和客舱体验是柯林斯使命的基础。我们对这个可认证的解决方案充满信心1 将有助于消除障碍,为更多的人群开辟更大的可能性,让他们更方便地体验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.

登机和下机也得到了简化,这不仅降低了运送人员进出轮椅时造成人身伤害和不适的风险,而且还大大减少了在办理登机手续、搬运和装载过程中轮椅处理不当的情况。在美国国家航空研究所(NIAR)最近的测试中,柯林斯解决方案的登机过程被证明与普通的地面交通体验相似,使航空旅行体验与其他交通方式中的典型住宿条件相一致。

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.

柯林斯解决方案的安装涉及集成的约束系统和安全带附件,用于固定轮椅和乘客。约束系统在不使用时可存放。柯林斯解决方案利用未使用的空间,无需拆卸或修改座位,从而为所有乘客保持一致的体验,并允许航空公司以现有密度运营。

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

柯林斯综合座椅解决方案的演示将在5月28日至30日的飞机内饰展览期间举行。
