Since the invention of the pressurised cabin, water and the condensation it produces have been problems for airlines.
Swedish manufacturer CTT Systems, a first-time visitor to Paris, has solutions on show (Hall 5/G10).
Visitors to the stand can see the problems and the potential solutions on an interactive CD-ROM system. Design and development manager Peter Landquist explains:
"Water retention causes a whole range of problems from corrosion to electronic failure and what's known as 'rain in the plane'.
"By drying out the condensation with our zonal dryer systems we can alleviate the problem rather than just managing it. That of course has cost benefits to the airline."
The six-year-old company already has a system installed in the Boeing 767 and is working on products for the 757 and MD-80.
