Custom Control Concepts, is honored to provide the SkyOne In-Flight Entertainment and Cabin Management System for AgustaWestland’s AW609 executive cabin mockup at Heli-Expo, booth 5111. The tilt-rotor AW609 is a groundbreaking aircraft, and thus is the perfect match for CCC’s groundbreaking SkyOne IFE & CMS solution.
SkyOne will be providing a full featured In-Flight Entertainment and Cabin Management experience for visitors to the AW609 executive mockup. Entertainment will include wireless IFE streaming to iPads, the SkyShow Flight Information System, lighting controls and more.
Jason Danforth, CCC’s Vice President Business Development, said “We are delighted to supply In-flight Entertainment and Cabin Management for the AW609 display at Heli-Expo. We wanted to provide AgustaWestland with an IFE/CMS experience that would compliment their cutting edge aircraft while also offering the end customer a unique VIP experience.”
The unique characteristics of the AW609 TiltRotor combine the benefits of a helicopter and a fixed-wing aircraft into one aircraft. Taking off and landing vertically, the AW609 can fly above adverse weather conditions in a pressurized cabin, with up to nine passengers at twice the speed and range typical of helicopters. Over 60 aircraft have been ordered to date for a variety of roles and missions, including offshore transportation, EMS and patient transfer, search and rescue, VIP, and parapublic operations, and FAA certification is expected in 2017.
