Replace your current window blinds by the Element EDW.
Fully control and manage the outside elements entering the cabin through the aircraft windows.

Control Daylight:

Light entering aircraft cabins through windows is a welcome element – but only if it can be managed. Element EDWs provide the solution. Precise control over the amount of light and glare in the cabin. Passengers experience greater comfort by having the optimum level of daylight in the cabin.

• From clear to darkly opaque and any level in between – in just seconds.
• Daylight management in many ways: Personal control for passengers; cabin-wide control for flight attendants.
• Automated control to adjust the incoming light using photosensors.

Control Heat:

Windows are the primary source of solar heat entering the cabin when the aircraft is on the ground. The cabin can be uncomfortably warm and passengers suffer. Element EDWs provide the following benefits:

• Transparent thermal insulation, providing welcome relief by delivering a cooler cabin.
• When the aircraft is parked, Element EDWs automatically switch darkly tinted, blocking even more heat. No passenger or flight attendant actions are needed for this benefit.

Control Noise:

Studies by NASA and others have demonstrated that windows are a primary source of noise entering an aircraft cabin from outside. Passengers experience psychological and physiological distress. Element EDWs have innovative transparent acoustic insulation films, providing a quieter cabin during the flight.

Element EDWs replace your current window shades and touch panes, with a revolutionary Electronically Dimmable Window. Element EDWs, which will block up to 99,96% of all visible light and provide full opacity, is integrated in the window cassette of the sidewall panel.

Control of the EDWs is offered in multiple ways:

• Passengers can control each EDW individually 
• Flight attendants are given cabin-wide control 
• Photosensors can be integrated into the electronics network, for automated and real-time adjustment to the light intensity coming into the aircraft
• By connecting the Element EDW to the cabin management system, daylight management can be combined with the artificial cabin lighting systems in a synergistic way.

The Technology behind the Element EDWs is proven in flight: certified and installed in over 500 aircraft.

Element Cabin Suite

Element EDW is the core product in the Element Cabin product suite. Complimentary products in Element Cabin – new window reveals, new sidewalls and new LED lights – can completely transform the interior of your cabin, providing a contemporary look for an unprecedented passenger experience.

Fokker Services will take care of the entire solution, from providing a ready to install kit combined with an engineering package that will contain the installation instructions and certification. The STC can be issued for EASA, FAA, or whichever regulatory certification will be necessary.

The installation of the system can also be taken care of by Fokker Services, either by taking the aircraft into our hangars or by providing on-site installation support.
