A NEW SOLUTION TO REDUCE THE SPREADING RISK OF AIRBORNE INFECTIONS IN AIRCRAFT CABIN
At present, due to the pandemic context, air transport is being re-analysed. Especially the economy class, where most passengers travel, having six people in a row of seats becomes risky because there is no minimum distance between people. If a person is infected, they can transmit the virus very e...

At present, due to the pandemic context, air transport is being re-analysed. Especially the economy class, where most passengers travel, having six people in a row of seats becomes risky because there is no minimum distance between people. If a person is infected, they can transmit the virus very easily, even if they wear a mask. The project also contains an assessment of the possibility of transmitting the virus through the cabin ventilation system. Two ventilation solutions are simulated in Ansys Fluent, both for the current cabin configuration of a one-aisle aircraft. Next, a solution that would improve the health safety on board is proposed. The new seats and cabin configurations are designed. Firstly, the middle seat replaced with a luggage storage box, large enough to carry some "hold" luggage and secondly, a plexiglass panel support, which can be mounted on the seat backside is conceived. Finally, the air flow in aircraft cabin for this new arrangement is analysed.
