Customizable
Intuitive technologies like active surface technology, wireless charging
and device pairing make the suite more approachable and customizable.
New standards in accessibility
Complete control
ADAPT™, a flight experience control system, integrates directly with passenger personal electronic devices – providing familiar, curated command over the entire seating environment
Advanced functionality
AI-powered InteliSence™ technology works in tandem with ADAPT to support advanced mobility, sensory, cognitive and language accommodations.
Curated communication
Crew to passenger communication improves as the ADAPT system informs service teams of unique passenger needs, allowing crews to cater their approach at an individual level.
Conscious construction
MAYA melds luxury with an unprecedented focus on sustainability. The seat concept is an exploration of intelligent design, material usage and operability to reduce waste, power consumption and overall weight.
Material matters
The use of recycled, reusable and plant-based materials combined with advanced machining and 3D knitting processes reduce production waste and improves product circularity.
Lighter & stronger
The STARLight™ composite structural material integrated into the seat is thinner and lighter than traditional materials. Reinforced with structural stiffeners, it provides weight and space savings without sacrificing strength and reliability.
Modular design
The industrial design of the seat emphasizes modular construction. This provides the opportunity to incorporate future technology developments and mid-life upgrades while also providing a canvas for differentiated branding elements.
Innovative collaboration
Collins Aerospace collaborated with Panasonic Avionics Corporation to bring the MAYA concept seat to life. United by a shared vision to create transformative passenger experiences, Collins and Panasonic contributed their respective expertise in technology and innovation in co-developing this revolutionary technology demonstrator.
