AIRCRAFT PARTITIONS HAVING AN ELECTROCHROMIC DISPLAY, AND RELATED METHODS

Abstract:

Aircraft partitions include a body panel and a partition mounting portion that selectively and removably couples the body panel to an aircraft passenger cabin. The body panel may indicate a transition between a first section of an aircraft passenger cabin and a second section of the aircraft passenger cabin, and at least a portion of the body panel may be an electrochromic region that comprises an electrochromic material. The electrochromic region may have a selectively adjustable transparency and/or may display information and/or entertainment to passengers. Aircraft may include such an aircraft partition and an aircraft mounting portion for selectively and removably coupling the aircraft partition to the aircraft passenger cabin via the partition mounting portion. Methods of reconfiguring an aircraft passenger cabin may include removing a first aircraft partition from a first aircraft mounting portion of the aircraft passenger cabin and installing a second aircraft partition at the first aircraft mounting portion.
