Abstract: A vehicle lavatory monument assembly that includes an enclosure having a plurality of walls that cooperate to define a lavatory interior, an entry door positioned on one of the plurality of walls, and a UV sanitization system that includes a first light module positioned in the lavatory interior. The first light module includes an ultraviolet light source that emits ultraviolet light rays and a lens member. The UV sanitization system also includes a first reflective surface having a reflective coating thereon, a first direct surface to be sanitized, and a first indirect surface to be sanitized. The lens member is configured to direct ultraviolet light rays to the first direct surface to be sanitized and to direct ultraviolet light rays to the first reflective surface. The first reflective surface is angled to direct ultraviolet light rays to the first indirect surface to be sanitized.

Abstract: A vehicle lavatory monument that includes an enclosure having a plurality of walls that cooperate to define a lavatory interior, a door positioned on one of the plurality of walls, and a first component positioned in the lavatory interior. The first component includes a first visual indication coating on an outer surface thereof that includes at least a first excitation additive that is configured to illuminate when irradiated by a first light that includes light waves within a predetermined wavelength range.

Abstract: A method for pre-forming adhesive films before applying such films to curved and/or irregular shapes inside an aircraft. Adhesive film blanks with antimicrobial properties are pre-formed using a contoured manufacturing mold. The adhesive film blank has been created to match the shape of the airline interior component to which such adhesive film will be applied. The adhesive film blank is pre-formed by placing it in the contoured manufacturing mold, applying heat for a specified time and at a specified pressure. After being pre-formed in the manufacturing mold, the pre-formed adhesive film is applied to a specific interior component. Commercial aircraft interior components may include, but are not limited to, items such as overhead stowage bins, sidewall panels, ceiling panels, monuments, lavatories, closets, handles, tray tables, galley surfaces, and any other appropriate high touch interior surfaces that benefit from application of a pre-formed adhesive film.

Abstract: A panel assembly that includes a core having first and second opposing major surfaces, a first laminate skin secured to the first major surface of the core, a second laminate skin secured to the second major surface of the core, and at least a first layer of polyimide aerogel incorporated into one of the first laminate skin or the second laminate skin.
