Vision Systems Introduces Barrier Solution for Aircraft Seats Against COVID-19

: Mar 11, 2021 - : 11:05 am

Vision Systems has unveiled Quick-Split, a roller separation solution for aircraft passenger seats that is fully compliant with EASA requirements .

Based on Vision Systems’ cockpit shading system technology, Quick-Split aims at avoiding contact and possible transmission of viruses between passengers. The solution is expected to restore passenger confidence while maximizing the seat load factor.

“Quick-Split reduces the anxiety of the passengers and gives them confidence in air transport,” said Jérôme Monvaillier, Managing Director of Vision Systems. “The solution is based on a proven technology. It is certified and ensures an economically viable operation for the airline.”

Placed at each seat, the physical barrier reassures the travelers who would be scared of catching COVID-19 from the persons seating next to them in the aircraft, especially at meal times when people take off their mask. During rest times, the passenger protection and sense of security remain as the system follows the inclination of the seat back when reclined. However, this divider can easily be folded for family travel for instance.

Quick-Split comprises a thin and soft transparent film that keeps a feeling of space for a better wellbeing in the cabin. It also includes two handles, one on each side to ensure that two people do not touch the same one.

For the airline, Quick-Split eliminates the issue of leaving an empty seat between two passengers. This plug and play, system fixed on the armrest and behind the seat back, is quick and easy to mount and dismantle without any modification of the existing seat, and is adaptable to all types of armrest. Besides, it does not degrade any part of the seat once removed. A tested anti-germ treatment applied on the product reduces cleaning maintenance.  According to the company, the Return On Investment is estimated at 7 flights for a narrow-body aircraft.

Vision Systems’ partner Aerotec performed the EASA certification program and approval on this product. “Quick-Split is a reliable product, easy to operate. It has been designed and qualified to ensure compliance with latest EASA safety standards” stated Thomas Paquien, Program Manager, Deputy Head of Airworthiness, Aerotec.
