Boeing 787 Dreamliner

Application of advanced gadgets in airplanes is not new. Some time ago some airlines in the United States are allowed to change their flight manuals with iPad, such as printed manuals, safety checklists, logbooks, navigation charts, weather information, and airport diagrams.

It seems that the success of iPad is now followed by Android. Software from Google that is commonly used in smartphones and tablets were selected by Boeing to be the entertainment platform in the plane (in flight) on the future of the 787 series aircraft Dreamliners.


Reported by Business Traveller Australian, Mark Larson, manager of Boeing Dreamliner Gallery techniques, all Boeing 787 is now in the process of production will be fitted with Android-based server and the touch screen. All the 787 Dreamliner is being configured as an Android can now get on board entertainment system.


For business and executive class, Android-based entertainment system will not use the touch screen because the screen is very wide and far from the reach of the passenger. Instead use a simple motion sensor of the hand so that it can control the entertainment system. For economy class touch screen panel is placed in the back seat with a wider viewing angle than the touch screen available today.


Touch-screen entertainment devices will be provided Thales and Panasonic which has been certified entertainment devices in the aircraft. Both companies will also be a supplier of ready-made server. Both companies will also provide screens ranging from 7 inches to 17 inches. Boeing 787 Dreamliner also provide space for the socket to provide connectivity with a laptop and a USB port for economy class.


Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a medium-bodied aircraft capable of carrying passengers as much as 200 to 350 people, depending on seating configuration. Boeing 787 Dreamliner claimed to be more fuel efficient than the previous generation of Boeing aircraft. According to Wikipedia, these aircraft use Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 and GEnx 2B engines General Electric's innovative-12. The aircraft also have the latest version of the Honeywell radar designed to monitor the weather in front of the plane with a distance of 100,000 meters (100 km).
