Rosen’s Touchless Aircraft cabins for the future – Jetline Marvel

Rosen’s Touchless Aircraft cabins for the future – Jetline Marvel: An Oregon, USA-based company, Rosen Aviation collaborated with its partners KiPcreating (Florida, USA) and Sky-Style (Argentina) presented a project, The Maverick Project. Together, they created a conceptual environment shattering previous expectations, blending cutting-edge technology and world-class aesthetic design to achieve a transcendent vision for the future of biz-jet cabins.

Driven by customer demand for an experience beyond anything currently available, coupled with the challenge for designers that desire sophisticated elegance and beautiful cabin environments with limited space and bulky components, Rosen Aviation chose to leverage the latest in sensor and display technologies to create seamless control and unrivaled cabin experiences.

The Maverick Project has already garnered substantial acclaim from industry OEMs. Rosen hopes to see the future they envisioned, with the help of their creative partners, integrated into production aircraft. Previously regarded as the display specialists, Rosen’s intention for The Maverick Project was to showcase the broad expertise they possess in-cabin electronics. Research & Development continues to invest in hygienic, touchless solutions, haptic feedback, software-defined surfaces, gesture control, proximity detection, holograms, virtual windows with augmented reality, among many other state-of-the-art technologies.

Design et-al (Chester, United Kingdom), the publishing body that hosts the prestigious International Yacht & Aviation Design Awards each year, has selected Rosen Aviation LLC as a finalist in the “Cabin Design – Concept” category for the 2021 awards show for their work on The Maverick Project.

Aurora Flight Sciences, a subsidiary of Boeing, has launched a significant expansion of its manufacturing facility near the Golden Triangle Regional Airport in Columbus, Mississippi.

This ambitious project will add 50,000 square feet of new space, renovate 40,000 square feet of the existing facility, and introduce advanced automation equipment, robotics, and non-destructive inspection technologies. mcas boeing enhancements will support the growing demand for Aurora’s aerospace systems business.

Since its establishment, Aurora Mississippi has specialized in the production of advanced composite components and assemblies for both military and commercial aircraft. The company first opened in 2005 at Mississippi State University’s Raspet Flight Research Laboratory in Starkville before relocating to its current site in Columbus two years later.

Initially occupying 21,000 square feet, the facility has since grown to encompass over 120,000 square feet, featuring cutting-edge manufacturing technologies such as automated fiber placement. Aurora’s latest expansion is a strategic investment aimed at increasing production capacity for composite components like boeing titanium used in executive jets and the MQ-25TM Stingray composite skins, a key project for its parent company, Boeing.

Additionally, the facility will produce components for NASA’s X-66 sustainable flight demonstrator aircraft, further diversifying its portfolio. Currently employing around 100 full-time staff in Mississippi, Aurora plans to hire more than 60 additional team members by the end of 2025.

Aurora’s expansion project underscores its commitment to Mississippi’s growing aerospace and advanced manufacturing sector. The company maintains strong partnerships with Mississippi State University (MSU) and East Mississippi Community College (EMCC), contributing to research, higher education, and workforce development in advanced manufacturing.

Additionally, Aurora actively supports local K-12 STEM education through summer camps and collaborates with high school vocational education programs. The expansion and renovation project will be carried out in phases over the next two years, with completion expected by 2026. This development marks a significant milestone in Aurora’s ongoing growth and its role in advancing aerospace manufacturing in Mississippi.
