Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
Nextant Aerospace Selects SPD-Smart I-Shades for its 400NEXT Aircraft
On April 6, 2010, Nextant Aerospace issued a press release announcing the
selection of InspecTech Aero Service's I-Shade(tm) brand of SPD-Smart(tm)
cabin windows for the 400NEXT aircraft. Nextant Aerospace also announced
that InspecTech's I-Shades interface with the Rockwell Collins Venue
cabin management systems (CMS) also on-board the 400NEXT.
In the Nextant press release, James Miller, President of Nextant Aerospace,
commented: "This remarkable cabin light management system fits perfectly
with our mission to modernize the cabin of the 400NEXT and to offer
leading edge cabin amenities. In February, we conducted the first flight of
a fully equipped Phase 1 400NEXT aircraft and the I-Shades' benefits were
compelling. I compliment the fine collaborative work of InspecTech and
Rockwell Collins in integrating I-Shades with the Venue CMS. We look
forward to having others experience the comfort and utility of
I-Shade dimmable windows."
SPD-Smart(TM) products use patented SPD film technology developed by
Research Frontiers. With the touch of a button or turn of a dial, users
can instantly and precisely adjust the tint of windows, sunroofs, glass
roof systems, skylights and other products. Automated adjustment of
SPD-Smart products also is available using sensors or timing devices.
SPD films can be combined with other glazing materials, such as those
used in armored glass, to meet a wide range of end-product requirements
across many applications. Because they instantly and precisely control
incoming light and heat, SPD-Smart products offer energy saving benefits
because they can manage solar heat build-up and lower energy used for
artificial lighting.
