Design and test (D&T) of an in-flight entertainment system with camera modification

In-flight entertainment (IFE) systems are human-machine systems which allow (i) the communication between the crew and passengers about flight information, and (ii) the interaction of a passenger with the multimedia content available on board, e.g. films, music, etc., usually using a touchscreen. In this paper, we present the robust design and development of a new in-flight entertainment system presenting a camera modification (IFECaM) to allow further functionalities to an IFE system such as (iii) the cooperation between passengers. The design of the IFECaM has followed the Design and Test (D&T) approach and has incorporated DO-178C and DO-331 aerospace norms. Tests have been carried out according to the standards and have demonstrated the excellent performance of our interactive, multimedia in-flight entertainment system.
