Singapore Airlines - Suites Class

Singapore Airlines has introduced the ultimate (non-private aircraft) flying experience with their “Suites” class, based on the humongous Airbus A380. I’m glad they’re making use of that ridiculous amount of cabin space in a different way than the predictable cattle-car configuration that most A380 operators will use. Not that I’ll ever get to experience it.

“Using a complex array of perforations, light passing through the pavilion’s surface produces shifting patterns, which transform into the legible text of a poem.
The specific arrangements of the perforations reveal different poems according to the solar calendar: a theme of new-life during the summer solstice. During summer solstice, the poem will contain the theme of ‘new life’. During winter solstice, the poem will be on ‘reflection and the passing of time.’”
I would love to see this in person!

PilotWiings: Reality - Interface Complete!
My PilotWiings: Reality project’s interface is complete. It displays the wiimote orientation and control settings for the PalmZ. Flight commands will be transmitted via serial communication to an Arduino microcontroller that will interpret the controls and translate them to the 17 bit IR messages that the PalmZ expects. It will then broadcast the commands via an array of IR LEDs, allowing the PalmZ to be flown via wiimote!
