Aerospace Technologies Group announces innovative aerLuxe window shades

Aerospace Technologies Group (ATG) announces innovative aerLuxe window shades. Their newest innovation is a cabin shading solution for multi-window applications in VIP aircraft and first-class suites on commercial airlines. The aerLuxe shade system will be on display at NBAA-BACE VEGAS 2025.

The aerLuxe shade provides a single “picture” window blind comprised of both light filtering (translucent) and cabin darkening (opaque) modes. With the press of a single button multiple windows disappear, replaced by a beautiful fabric wall covering that blends seamlessly with the surrounding interior.

However, aerLuxe most innovative benefits lie within, silently working to create the quietest and smoothest operating window shade in its class. The foundation of aerLuxe is based on ATG’s proven Modular Series of window shades which has been elevated to a new level of performance through ATG’s Next Gen advance electronic control system.

ATG’s NextGen electronic controls provides IoT functionality and connectivity to on-board maintenance and cabin management systems enabling the transfer of performance metrics, remote diagnostics, and programming updates without removing the shade from the aircraft. The advance electronic controls feature self-learning algorithms and sensorless control to extend the shade life and provide the quietest operation.

With the optional ShadePT feature, aerLuxe shades come equipped with an advanced preventive maintenance function which will extend the life of the fabric shade by refreshing it to original shape. ShapePT performs without requiring shade removal and can even be activated by cabin crew eliminating a maintenance ticket.

The company plans to introduce models of aerLuxe for the range of commercial aircraft commissioned for VIP applications and will replace its MS2 and MS3 products.

Today ATG electric window shades can be found on small, mid, and large cabin business jets as well as Boeing 777-300ER, A380, and A350 aircraft in the premium class seating areas of the more discerning carriers. ATG’s aerBlade window shade is featured throughout the Emirates A350 aircraft including in the economy class.
