Lufthansa Technik is showing a design study of a ‘fireless fireplace’ for VIP and executive Jets at the
European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (Ebace), which gets under way today in Geneva, Switzerland.
The design of the Fireless Fireplace can be adapted to each customer's taste.
Many private customers wish to have an interior in the aircraft which is as cozy their living room at home, but until now, an open fireplace has been a “no-go” on board an aircraft due to safety regulations, the German firm points out.
However, its new Fireless Fireplace - which meets the certification requirements from the authorities –looks and sounds like a real fireplace and gives passengers a “warm feeling while traveling at cruising altitude”, it says.
The Fireless Fireplace uses a technology which simulates a fire by illuminating water mist combined with an illuminated imitation of burning wood. This creates a very realistic three-dimensional impression of a real fire, while the ‘flame’ is cold.
The heat, sound and the intensity of the ‘flame’ can be adjusted by a remote control.
The Fireless Fireplace weighs around 30 kg excluding the surrounding interior design. Power consumption is up to 1,300 W.
Lufthansa Technik is presenting this new design element for VIP aircraft - along with several other innovations - at its booth T089, hall 6.
With more than 30 subsidiaries and about 26,000 employees worldwide, the Lufthansa Technik Group is one of the leading providers of services for the aviation industry. The group's portfolio encompasses the entire spectrum of services in the areas of maintenance, repair, overhaul, modification and conversion, engines and components.
