Aircraft Containment Defense System 

 

Abstract
Our project is designed to reduce the chance of person-person spread of a viral disease being transmitted by air inside an aircraft cabin. Using an audio sensor to detect the frequency of a cough/sneeze, dampers in the aircraft exhaust ports that will open/close when a cough is detected. Once the cough is detected, solenoids will close the ports on the opposite side of the plane and the rows behind where the cough takes place for a set amount of time to clear the cabin of cough particles. Computer fans are used to provide inlet air supply to the cabin that is funneled through clear tubing at the top of the fuselage. SolidWorks simulations of the model have confirmed that the system reduces the dispersion of cough particulates when activated.
Community Benefit: s afer and healthier flying conditions through the reduction of exposure to a viral disease from air being transmitted inside an aircraft cabin.
