The world is trying to adapt to return to normalcy, and to work to better secure air travel during the Coved-19 pandemic. There were many options for strengthening precautionary controls, such as the one that provides buffer screens in aircraft.
According to the "Future Observatory", which is affiliated with "Dubai Future Foundation," a leading airline based in Seattle, in the United States, believes that it is all related to the ventilation process. And the company «Tig» submitted its solution for safe air travel, which it called the «Air Shield» (air shield), and the company believes that it is the best solution to return the aviation industry to work again during the pandemic «Covid-19» and after.
The Air Shield design aims to keep coughing and sneezing confined to only one passenger seat, the seat where a person suffering from coughing and sneezing sits. Then, the air is captured directly around it and filtered into the company's new filtration system. A quick, effective and easy-to-implement solution is crucial for the TEJ team. For this, Air Shield is implemented in 3D printing and is easily installed on the air conditioning unit already in the plane. Thus, when the passenger breathes, coughs or sneezes, the water vapor droplets from the mist are reserved within the passenger's space, and immediately redirected to the bottom and outside the cabin to the filter units before they have the opportunity to enter the private space of the adjacent passenger, according to the "TIG" proposal. The proposal aims that the invisible system act as a shield or air barrier for each passenger, in order to provide comfort and safety. By using the airflow from the existing upper air vents, the Air Shield will convert fresh air into air blades that can control the spread of the spray more effectively, providing passengers and crew with better protection, and providing them with a comfortable and safe feeling. In this way, physical separation will not be the only way to travel safely, and hopes relate to the acceptance of this proposal, in order to help the troubled aviation industry to rise again.
When a passenger breathes, coughs or sneezes, the spray is trapped inside his cabin, and immediately redirected to the outside of the cabin.
