New Android Software Allows VIP Control Of Aircraft Cabin

Gulfstream Customer Says Tablet Interface Performs Very Well

Devices starting with the letter "i" don't have an exclusive on the aircraft cabin management system domain. Flight Display Systems said Friday it has introduced and successfully installed an Android software application for use with its Select Cabin Management System (Select CMS), allowing VIP aircraft passengers to control all cabin functions from the familiar setting of their mobile phone or tablet computer.

The first system was installed for a Hollywood movie producer who owns a Gulfstream III. The VIP 7" Android-powered tablet controls all cabin functions, such as lighting, window shades, Blu-ray player, movie library, and the Flight Display Moving Map. The wireless system operates via Bluetooth for full control anywhere inside the aircraft cabin. "This new software allows us to give the customer full control of his aircraft cabin from the familiarity of his mobile device," said Jonathan Pinson, the resident Android Technician at Flight Display Systems. "This software will work on any Android 2.0-powered mobile phone or tablet with Bluetooth."

The software is available now for all Flight Display Systems Select CMS customers.
