LIFE - Lighter, Integrated, Friendly and Eco-efficient Aircraft Cabin
LIFE is a Visionary Concept for an innovative executive aircraft cabin focusing on the use of natural and sustainable materials. Combining state of the art technology and natural materials like leather and cork, LIFE presents a vision for a sophisticated, comfortable aircraft cabin with a low environmental footprint. By joining competences from different areas, this initiative was made possible by a consortium of four companies and one R&D institution: Couro Azul (Carvalhos Group); SET (Iberomoldes Group); Amorim Cork Composites and INEGI (a Research and Technology Organization) with the participation of Almadesign (Industrial Design Company) and Embraer (Aircraft Manufacturer).
