Inflatable Aircraft Interior

Umbilical Design won a design competition for constructing an aircraft interior for tourist trips into weightlessness. Their solution was to build an inflatable interior in the form of a 14-metre long module. The plane was primarily intended for the training of cosmonauts, and Umbilical Design’s solution made it simple and straightforward to change the nature of the cabin’s application.

Rymdföretaget Umbilical Design och ÅF inleder samarbete för att Sverige ska bli bäst i Europa på hållbar rymdtekniköverföring

Rymdtekniköverföring, eller space technology transfer, handlar om att hitta teknologier och koncept inom rymdindustrin som kan tillämpas på andra områden, som till exempel inom medicinsk teknik, fordonsindustrin eller hållbar stadsplanering. Rymdföretaget Umbilical Design och teknikkonsultföretaget ÅF inleder nu ett samarbete för att Sverige ska bli bäst i Europa inom hållbar rymdtekniköverföring.
