Diehl Aviation at AIX 2026: Innovative, More Accessible, and Fully Integrated Cabin Solutions
At Aircraft Interiors Expo 2026, Diehl Aviation will present its cabin and systems portfolio in Hamburg, showing how interior components and onboard systems interact within the aircraft. The presentation will also highlight accessibility solutions, including the Space³ lavatory and the Adaptive User Routing System (AURS).
Diehl Aviation will exhibit at Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) 2026, April 14-16, in Hamburg (Hall B7, Booth 7D20). The company will present its integrated approach to cabin solutions, covering individual monuments and interior components, lighting solutions and connected onboard systems. The focus is on reliable system performance in operation, as well as on reducing weight and complexity where feasible. Passenger-related functions are considered in the context of day-to-day airline requirements.
IMAGINE — Turning Customer Needs into Innovative Solutions
The exhibition is framed by the theme “IMAGINE – you inspire, we create.” Under this framework, visitors can explore how operational requirements from airlines and aircraft manufacturers shape integrated cabin solutions. Each exhibit is based on the specific inspirations drawn from customer projects or development programs, illustrating both its application context and its functional role within the cabin environment. The focus is on seamlessly integrated solutions that bring ideas to life and ensure a unified cabin experience throughout the aircraft lifecycle.
Accessibility as a Required Standard
Accessibility continues to play an important role in cabin development, particularly in lavatory design. Diehl Aviation will present its Space³ lavatory equipped with AURS, developed to support passengers with visual or auditory impairments. The system provides coordinated visual and audio guidance, helping users navigate and operate the lavatory more independently. AURS has been recognized as a finalist for the Crystal Cabin Award 2026 in the Accessibility category and will be available for hands-on demonstration at the Diehl Aviation booth.
Portfolio Overview: Cabin and Systems in Context
Diehl Aviation’s exhibition is designed to illustrate how different systems interact within the aircraft cabin, rather than focusing on standalone products:
- ECO Efficiency Area: Solutions of weight reduction and emission-related improvements achieved through material selection and system design within existing cabin configurations.
- Cabin Demonstrator: Applications for lighting, lining, and surface finishes, including options for updating cabin appearance with minimal downtime.
- Safety Story: Insights into system integration and redundancy, with a focus on overall aircraft safety and dispatch reliability.
The presentation reflects Diehl Aviation’s approach to integration: individual components perform optimally when designed to operate as part of a coherent system. AIX 2026 offers the opportunity to experience these interactions firsthand.
Diehl Aviation will be located in Hall B7, Booth 7D20 at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2026.
