AIM Aviation has complete cabin interior electrical system and component design capability. The passenger environment may be improved with programmable lighting systems. The ability to control tone and intensity of lighting enhances the passenger flight experience. It is a technology in which AIM is a world leader.
Recent projects have advanced the design of many electrical and lighting systems including:
No latch is now evident but the furniture door is designed to intuitively lead the passenger to operate an electronic catch.
The latch incorporates a special mechanism that keeps the latch jaws open, after they have been triggered, even though the power is removed. This mechanism means the door will not lock again until it has been opened to re-set the latch mechanism.
When the door is correctly latched shut, power failure will not allow the door to open but it can be opened manually using a release pin, or the optional cable release.
The solenoid-release latch is designed to lock doors shut.
When the door switch is operated the solenoid is electrical energised for a period of 55mS (0.05 second)
This short pulse is designed to limit the current draw.
The door striker is released and the door can be opened.
Power Requirements:
Voltage: 28.0 V (Nom) D.C.
Quiescent (idle) Current:
50 mA
Unlock Current (peak):
2.88A for 55 mS
Failure Probability:
Less than 4.5x10^-7 per flight hour, substantiated by test.
Strength:
420lbs includes 1.33 fitting factor Substantiated by test.
AIM can offer with EASA Form One as an approved component with effectivity Boeing 747-400, A340-200/300, -500/600 and A380-800 plus Declaration of Design and Performance.
AIM Aviation was the first company to install mood lighting systems in passenger aircraft.

Subsequent developments include an advanced light level detection system which is environmentally sensitive and automatically adjusts internal lighting in furnishing items to suit the level of background lighting in the cabin. This is particularly beneficial during night flying.
To provide a lighter, brighter ambience in the cabin.
To provide increased light output and better yellowing resistance of cabin lighting lenses.
Replacing all existing fluorescent lamps with lamps wrapped with AIM’s clear ultra violet filter will improve the colour intensity of the white light source and reduce ultra violet degradation of the light lenses.
Light transmission through the lenses is 40% greater than even brand new lenses and the construction is not subject to degradation from the AIM fluorescent lamps.
