Poor experiences in airliners during air travel

What it does

The UV-C and LED fixture is combined in one housing and provides a 2-minute cleaning cycle between flights as to not impact quick turnarounds in airliners.

How we built it

We used solidworks to create a preliminary model representing the light fixture in the ceiling of the aircraft, however, the fixtures would be implemented into all pre-existing light fixtures in the cabin, including the floor, ceiling, and side panels.

Challenges we ran into

Combining aviation data and UV technology data together to create the design and idea behind it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are sophomores and even with limited knowledge of the aviation industry, we feel we have come up with a great solution to the cleanliness issue on aircraft.

What we learned

How much of an issue cleanliness is on aircraft today, in the airline industry in particular.

What's next for Operation Clean Cabin

Do testing of basic design and make adjustments as necessary.
