STEP 1

Room for every good idea: blank page and reflection

To reinvent the interior of a single-aisle aircraft, our ZEO design and innovation studio chose the Airbus A320. With specific objectives: carry-on luggage capacity increased by up to 60%, less weight, a design that is both attractive and modular for manufacturing, simplified installation and maintenance. Open reflection, creativity and speed are hallmarks of this approach. Code name: ISIS, for Innovative Space Interior System.

Analysis and full-scale testing

Engineers, industrial designers, designers, sales: using successive mock-ups on the fuselage of a downgraded Airbus A320, our multidisciplinary team tests different concepts and conducts analyses and comparative studies.
