“BAE Systems has partnered with Boeing to provide a configurable touch-screen display panel that offers airlines greater flexibility in how they control and monitor cabin system functions," said Steve Hissong, director of commercial electronics for BAE Systems. "Our new Attendant Control Panel is customizable, which reduces the number of part numbers being supplied. The panel"s ability to capture system fault data also simplifies maintenance for airlines."

The ACP features a durable, FAA-certified design with a color touch-screen display and a variety of peripheral and network ports. Configurable to airline preferences, the panel controls a number of cabin system functions including dynamic "mood" lighting, environmental systems, and data collection of cabin equipment faults. A key feature of the ACP is a laptop-based software tool that allows airline personnel to modify lighting requirements associated with changes to the passenger cabin layout and to control and modify lighting scenes onboard the aircraft.

The checkout attendant will encourage the patient to take a survey and an envelope. They will be asked to fill the survey out at home and mail it back to us.

@Jules15: lol, i think someone at SRAM is having a field day with the up-yours, it takes you to a "campaign" section with the link to the flight attendant site.

Imagine that Flight Attendant was invented before the lockout switch and we"ve all been using it for years. Then Sram came out with new suspension today saying, "Now, instead worrying about batteries and messing around with your phone, all you have to do is flip an onboard switch! Best of all, the whole set up will shave almost a pound off your bike! Oh, and it even allowed us to drop our prices!" We"d be stoked. Dear industry: sometimes less is more.

The way I look at this is just an electronic version of a remote fork and/or shock lockout. If you think about it in a basic sense, a rider on a bike with a remote mechanical lockout versus a rider on a bike with a Flight Attendant system aren"t on anything that differ all that much. Compared to someone who must leave their fork alone OR must constantly turn/unturn knobs, the other two have a clear advantage when climbing or descending. The electronic version is just a simpler way to do it (simpler in the sense that the bike took care of the adjustment).

Additionally, as the article states, the total weight of the active suspension system relative to the weight of the bicycle is a miniscule 0.7 pounds. If we assume the bikes used weigh (on average) 35 pounds to 37 pounds, the active suspension system makes up only 2% of that weight. There other variables that will have a greater impact than the weight of the new Flight Attendant system on a mountain bike.

@jlevandoski: for engineering those vehicles they are no different road cars, because that is where they will spend 99% of their lives. Active behaviour for them off road will still be governed by the same algorithms, which is to say that vehicle speed, engine speed, brake state, steering angle will be the predominant inputs that govern suspension behaviour. The control loop is of a very different nature on a non motorised vehicle.

@hamncheez: I like your solution much, much more than what this Rock Shox product is offering. I think we put too much faith in the ability of electronics/computers to perform tasks consistently than we should. For people who want lockout, a wireless control on the handlebar is all that is necessary, or just a simple angle sensor to open and close the shocks. Constantly computing and adjusting on the fly is unnecessary for the vast majority of riders.

@Linc: Some would say pedaling should use a platform, even on the DH. Jerome Clementz on his travel adjust Jekyll had the switch controlled by a gripshift, so literally every time he had a straightaway to pedal he"d pop it into the lower travel. Other would say that you want your suspension active when pedaling at speed. Thats why I literally said "with some basic configuration, like minimum watts before locking out, and/or the angle of descent/climb before locking out"

I feel that more batteries and more electronics disconnect the rider from the mountain bike experience in general. It adds a black box on your bike that can"t be totally controlled and maintained.

@Compositepro: Yeah but @AAAAAHHH feels disconnected from his bike if a blackbox decides over his riding. So we obviously need direct brain to brake connection without oldschool lever thingies. Or brain to fork connection to manipulate all suspension setting on the fly at our control

"Delta?" exclaimed the hairdresser. "That"s a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they"re always late. So, where are you staying?"

"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Delta"s new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The great food and wine were served by beautiful flight attendants. And the hotel was great! They"d just finished a $$$ remodeling job, and now it"s a jewel, the finest hotel in the city."

Well it"s not a normal bike, it"s a carbon fiber full-suspension mountain bike with wireless electronically controlled damping and wireless shifting. Let"s all go back to rigid 26"" clunkers with coaster brakes like the core riders we are

Heard it a thousand times.. Just like riding a flight attendant named buttercup until it sounds like a robotic duck being hit with a hammer. Same old story, new pony. I"ll show myself out

That article actually said, "The advantage offered by a lockout under these conditions is measurable but modest." That was with only a rear lockout - Flight Attendant locks the fork as well, so the feeling of efficiency is increased even further. On the Enduro I was testing with the difference between open and fully locked out is very, very noticeable - I"d call it a dramatic difference.

Not only do I feel the application is poorly implemented for what the average rider really wants/needs, but what"s truly sad is the stupid amounts of money they will ludicrously overcharge for what simply amounts to what a micro controller, a servo, a battery and maybe a first year high school electronics education could accomplish. There"s nothing groundbreaking about this.

"Our air forks" aren"t too harsh, just theirs. I went from a 2014ish Fox 36 R2C2 to a 2019 Pike RC to a 2020 Fox 36 Grip2, and the Pike was terrible (for me) compared to either Fox: Pike was so chattery, so harsh off the top and even off the sag, felt like it was fighting to hold me up instead of eating up the terrain. 36 is so smooth and fast to move while also being very controlled in it"s motion, just eats bumps of all sizes and lets me get on with shredding.

From all this electronic suspension controls,my favorite was the Magura eLect. Weighted next to nothing,and used a simple inclinometer to adjust the suspension depending you were climbing or descending.

how about adding an electronically controlled hydraulic bottom out? or a multi air chamber system that automatically adjusts to maintain ideal sensitivity and support. many people run very little compression. so electronically controlled a variable that few riders actively tinker with isn’t going to dramatically change things.

Hear me out - an aftermarket company could capture about 90% of the benefit with a simple add-on designed for 2-position lever shocks. I get that a 2-position lever isn"t quite as effective as a full lockout, but a simple motor that flicks the lever back and forth, combined with a handlebar mount control that toggles would be pretty neat. I don"t really want my fork to lockout or even firm up. If anything, I think I"d prefer my fork to sag as deeply as possible on climbs, as this creates a steeper HTA and lower front end.

How will this affect bike design? What"s interesting is this could greatly affect the way bikes are designed in the future. If pedaling performance can be controlled by flight attendant and is less of a factor in overall suspension design, then bike manufacturers can focus on the best overall downhill performance.

For crying out loud, just give me the dropper controlled thing for an extra hundred bucks. Dropper down, full open…dropper up mixed mode or firm or whatever. It’s such a damn simple problem to fix.

My uniquish comment - I was really hoping for a simple, all in control system built around AXS - shifter, both dampers and droppers - from the existing AXS controllers. No extra sensors or thinking for me, maybe a hot key or smart click or two, but I just wanted easy, wireless control of everything. I"m already sold on RS suspension, and with ANOTHER Shimano 12s failure this morning, I"m eyeballing SRAM drivetrain stuff for my next replacement cycle... integration would have been a big selling point for me. This... this is better than livewire, but not by much.

I"ve got no problem with adding tech for those that want it. I"d sooner get some cheap telemetry tech that records my suspension performance than this Flight Attendant though. And more than all that, I wish manufacturers would invest more into tech that stops your bike from being stolen!

Has Sram finally released a two paddle left hand AXS controller too so you can run an AXS dropper post and the manual Flight Attendant mode? This should allow you to control an AXS rear derailleur with a left hand instead of a right hand.

Is “Flight Attendant” the best name that they could come up with? “Flight Attendant” only congers up an image of a good looking person in an ugly uniform telling me to bend over and kiss my ass goodbye and I plummet to the ground!

Some schmuck used to be big on suspension design. did not like lockouts wanted good design over simple lock outs. Now schmuck schmackey thinks computer controlled lock out are good and versatile answers to mtb. Guess schmuck evolving. Didnt know the leftovers from a bris could think so hard or baby new tech so well. Scmuck schmuckky schmuck schmack! Despite this nema still likes schmucky, and cant judge too hard, since nema likes fuel injection and ebikes (!!!) Maybe nema is a big schmuck chunk too.

" The idea is that Flight Attendant should make it possible for a longer travel bike to have greatly improved manners while climbing, all without losing anything on the descents - I like to think of it as the "having your cake and eating it too" concept. "

I used to crave something like this to control bob under hard efforts. But i"ve found that high pivot bikes with high anti-squat (I imagine 160% or more) make for a totally solid platform.

It"ll be four batteries for a full AXS Flight Attendant bike - derailleur, dropper, fork, shock. The batteries in the controllers and the pedal sensor last much longer.
