AviationGlass & Technology (Booth 1675), a first-time NBAA exhibitor, offers a certified mirror and optical lens that may change the face of aircraft interior design.

The two-year-old Netherlands-based manufacturer of optically true mirrors and lenses has been finishing its AS9100 paperwork with the goal of EASA certification of its products this fall. AviationGlass & Technology has installed the products in a Dassault Falcon 900 testbed. Typical applications include interior windows, bulkhead mirrors, lavatory glass (showers, for example) and mirrors, and so forth.

“Business jet owners can quite literally see the difference with their reflections in our product,” said John Rietveldt, CEO of the company. “They’ll feel it, too, when they discover how durable the product is in comparison to traditional polycarbonate.” The company’s glass products are said to be ultra-thin, scratch-resistant and lightweight.

The company, operating from a 43,000-sq-ft facility in Voorthuizen, is already working with Airbus Completion centers, providing interior products for ACJ projects.
