Williams to bring F1 technology to aircraft cabins
Formula 1 team Williams has hooked up with JPA Design to leverage technology from racing-car design to create a more comfortable cabin environment using lighter-weight materials.
Williams Advanced Engineering is the racing team’s technology and engineering services business.
It is partnering with JPA Design to create a UK capability for aircraft interior products which will tap Formula 1-derived technology from Williams and cabin design expertise from JPA Design.
“Our work with Williams Advanced Engineering will deliver truly revolutionary advances to the air-travel industry, both onboard new aircraft and retrofitted to existing aeroplanes,” says James Park, founder and principal of JPA Design.
