Key Factors in Designing In-Flight Entertainment Systems

From the passengers comfort perspective, this model was equipped with a kitchen having electric ovens and a refrigeration unit, a small dinning room, washrooms for men and women, and passenger cabins with a capacity of two passengers each. Unfortunately, the craft was not heated, so passengers were dressing heavy coats and covered with blankets during winter flights. As developments went on, the "Hindenburg" aircraft came with heated passenger area, larger dinning room, passengers lounge with a piano as the first audio entertainment, a decorated writing room, a more enhanced passenger cabins, and promenades with seating and windows that can be opened during the flight (Airships.net, Last visit 2011).
