Electrical output of airliners?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some info regarding the electrical output of long-haul airliners (787, 777, 767, 747, A330, A380).
I am working on an economy seat design concept that will allow much greater recline while maintaining a 33 inch pitch, but I am unsure how to attack the mechanicals.
I know business and first seats have multiple electric motors but are unsure whether sufficient electrical power is available for hundreds of economy seats - even those designed to use low amounts of power.
I had been looking at bleed air pneumatics also, but this requires a separate compressor on a 787 as they have bleedless engines.
I'm also considering a user-powered system of levers and springs, but electric would be easier.
I've approached Boeing and Airbus who don't seem to want to help unless I have a name within each organisation. Technical spec sheets don't seem to list cabin electrical availability either.
any help appreciated
