3-D in the Air

Airlines who buy Airbus’ revamped version of its A330 jet will be able to offer passengers 3-D movies starting in late 2017 when the first of the airplanes are delivered. The ability to play 3-D movies on new seat-back screens will be part of the A330 Neo’s new in-flight entertainment system that Airbus will install on the jets, making airplanes one of the last remaining holdouts for 3-D programming. The A330 Neo will also feature improved HD video capabilities, faster Wi-Fi and other forms of mobile connectivity through its fourth-generation in-flight entertainment system; full-LED mood lighting; wider seats; and better fuel consumption due to new engines and aerodynamics. The A330 is Airbus’ most popular wide-body plane, in terms of sales, and competes with Boeing’s new Dreamliner.
