How DO we innovate? By learning from the past while imagining the future.
#Aircraft cabins are built to last - sometimes decades. Any #innovation needs to be built in with a rapidly changing landscape in mind.

Geraldine Lundy, Accessible Travel Consultancy Ltd, says the industry needs to prevent damage to wheelchairs as a priority. There's currently no official kit/process to load/deplane wheelchairs, and that needs to change. #PaxEx #AvGeek @theAPEXassoc #RedCabin2019
"We need to consider everyone's needs at the very start of the cabin design process."
We're very proud to be a part of @flyingdisabled's panel at #RedCabin2019 looking at making #aviation more accessible for disabled passengers.
It's time for real change! #WheelchAIRtravel

.@flyingdisabled hosting the "Flying for All" panel at #RedCabin2019 - @acumen_da's Daniel Clucas says accessibility solutions need to be built in from the start, not bolted on, adding weight/cost. It being an afterthought isn't good for business! #PaxEx #AvGeek @theAPEXassoc

Our own Catherine Barber discussed how new technologies and materials are affecting seat upholstery and functionality – see you at the next one!
Acumen Design Associates retweeted
Check out an #innovative new pillow that has a layer of wax inside - when you are warm, the wax melts and absorbs heat, while when you are cold the wax solidifies and lets you keep it.
Perhaps we should be investing more thinking into the materials we use!
