This podcast from Aviation Maintenance Magazine discusses the development of AirShield, a new technology designed to improve passenger well-being in aircraft cabins. AirShield creates protective air barriers around passengers by redirecting purified air from the aircraft’s HEPA filtration systems. Pexco Aerospace, the company behind AirShield, faced numerous challenges bringing the concept to fruition, including extensive testing and rigorous certification processes. The podcast highlights the company’s collaborations with major airlines, including American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and Alaska Airlines, and its efforts to gather data on the product’s effectiveness. The podcast concludes with Pexco Aerospace’s plans to submit AirShield for full certification and their hopes that the technology will become the new standard for air management in aircraft cabins.
