Aircelle "Lights Up the Sky" During the Initial Test Flight of a Nacelle With an Electro-Luminescent Display
In an evaluation performed June 8 during the nighttime hours, the A380 testbed aircraftÕs no. 1 outboard engine nacelle was outfitted with an Aircelle electro-luminescent display configured as an illuminated Airbus logo. Thanks to this flight, Aircelle was able to demonstrate the markingÕs brightness, clarity and readability Ð confirming its outstanding visibility at various lighting conditions and distances.
With the thickness of a decal, the ÒIlluminate the Sky by AircelleÓ patented solution can be easily modified and reprogrammed, allowing for a variety of images or messages to be displayed and changed. It is capable of showing a full range of graphics, patterns and animations, with placement almost anywhere on an aircraft Ð from the fuselage and under-fuselage belly to the engine nacelles and tail.
