The airport sector is in constant search of innovations that allow providing a better service and safety during flights, in addition to the fact that currently all the new devices or services attract the attention of customers and this increases their interest in buying from an airline or other.
Under this vision is the company Airbus, which are considered as the largest aircraft manufacturers worldwide, for which they have a series of changes and initiatives to provide a better service and also to make a modification in relation to the climate impact that causes the planes.

Sustainable aviation
This company, as mentioned above, is at the forefront of innovation, which is why they seek to create new means in which the airport sector is sustainable; That is why for some years they have started with the creation of sustainable fuel using recycled products such as municipal waste, cooking oil or agricultural remains, they have been testing and in 2019 they were introducing it in their industrial transport.
Paper flange
During the construction of an airplane there are many cables that are used for the different functions that are needed, the connections needed in the aircraft can be approximately 15 meters long, so if these cables are not fastened they can cause several accidents; In order to give better support in this procedure, the Airbus company has developed a very resistant paper flange, but at the same time easy to tear, so as not to use any tool when the cables must be separated.
Trolley sucks balls
The company has sought to be able to optimize the functions performed by the crew, one of the most critical points could be considered to be the volume of garbage left after a flight, the staff invests a lot of time in the collection and disposal of waste; therefore, they have designed a system for some existing trolleys, which is based on the fact that once the bag is full, the trolley is left in a specific area where there will be an absorption system similar to that of the bathrooms, which will remove all the air from the bags and will compact their contents.
A smart cabin
They have designed a system of stickers that allows validating where the products are found by means of radio frequency identification, this allows observing the traceability of the objectives that have the microchip attached to the stickers. The objective of this innovation is to know the location of the products and their state, for example, it is possible to see if all the life jackets are in place, as well as to know if the vest is still in force, because it is possible to add an expiration date to the label.
Smart lenses
Airbus has developed for the glasses a micro camera that has a reality magnification function, this small device is capable of adjusting to any model of lenses used by the assembly personnel. Its function is carried out by means of voice commands so that just by speaking to them they can do what they are told to, they can project an image onto any surface, detecting the surface through the databases found in the software, with this they can examine a barcode and validate some previous registration to that same code.
