"Boeing, like all airlines around the world, is looking for a way to restore passenger confidence in air safety in the age of the coronavirus pandemic.
One of the key tasks on this journey will be to ensure that passengers on their planes feel safe and fear that they will become infected on them. Boeing has therefore announced that they are developing their own device for disinfecting the cabin and cockpit of the aircraft with ultraviolet light.
Disinfection with UV-C light should be complementary to other existing ways of disinfecting the interior of passenger planes, but also eliminate the need to use alcohol and other chemical disinfectants that could damage electrical appliances.
For the needs of this disinfection stick, Boeing has already started the process of purchasing technology and cooperation with external companies, and plans to start production this fall. One of the possible partners is the American company Optec, which has already developed a device called iWAND, which is held in the hand and used for UV disinfection.
Testing of potential solutions has already begun, and is being carried out in cooperation with 13 airlines that are interested in implementing Boeing UV lamps in their aircraft cleaning process, writes Bug.hr. In addition, Boeing is already testing interior coatings that would kill any microbes on them."
