Fokker Services a business line of Fokker Technologies and GKN Aerospace officially launched the first ever SkyView Window for a civil jet aircraft at EBACE in Geneva from 19-21 May.
A full-size, demonstrator window, larger than three standard cabin windows, is on display on the Fokker Services stand, J103, at EBACE. The panoramic window was first launched at EBACE 2014.
The SkyView window, a Fokker STC, will be the first of its kind certified for the business aviation community and will be offered to Boeing Business Jets owners and operators by Fokker Services.
Up to four SkyView windows can be installed on each aircraft. GKN Aerospace will supply the first set of 1.5m long x 0.5m high windows to Fokker Services in December this year - just 7 months after contract award.
Fokker Services will fit the demisting, acrylic, SkyView windows, incorporating the GKN’s patented Crystal Vue II coating, into the passenger cabin of a converted BBJ 737-700 aircraft.
The windows will be designed and manufactured at the GKN Aerospace Luton site, with the first set of windows due to be delivered in December 2015 and the conversion completed and certified by 1st quarter of 2016.
