What will the cabin components of the future look like?<br />
In the research project LiBio (Lightweight Bionic Aircraft<br />
Interior), an international consortium, with ten<br />
partners from Germany, Austria and Canada, delved<br />
into this exact question. Its goal: the development of a<br />
pioneering and functional cabin component.<br />
The international partners took on this challenge and developed<br />
an innovative table, serving as a use case of future cabin<br />
interiors: a perfect blend of functional design and latest<br />
manufacturing methods, including robot-guided additive<br />
manufacturing (see p. 54 for further details).<br />

The 3D visualization by IDS Hamburg<br />
unveils the hidden complexity of the<br />
built prototype’s interior.<br />
Flexible: the table remains<br />
completely foldable and<br />
seamlessly disappears into<br />
the cabin’s sidewall.<br />
Project completion in Montreal:<br />
the happy consortium presenting<br />
an ingenious prototype.
