It seems Google Glass is starting to become quite a handy tool for customer service staff and flight attendants at airports and on airplanes. We’ve heard of quite a few airports using it and Virgin Atlantic Airlines is working towards permanently implementing it at certain locations. So far, Google Glass has been pretty well accepted by people working in the aviation industry, but obviously things can always be improved.

Honeywell Aerospace, an aviation company, is working on the ultimate Google Glass app for flight attendants and passengers. The application that Honeywell Aerospace is working on helps flight crew stay up-to-date with what is going on in the cabin. This includes things like the positioning of window shades, lighting, and even what the temperature is in the cabin.

From Google Glass, attendants are able to adjust and control different things like the air conditioning, lighting and window shade positions. Not only that, but the app lets attendants check certain information about the flight for passengers such as estimated arrival times and other things of that sort.

Aviation company Honeywell Aerospace seems to be planning to make the application useful for other people besides attendants as well. In a video, Nan Kramer, leader of Honeywell passenger services, talks about bringing the app to the faces of ground crew, mechanics and even passengers. Passengers could use the app to order menu items among other things.

The company has stated that the application is not yet ready for commercial use. The app only seems to be available for some private flights. Their main priority right now is fully integrating Google Glass with their proprietary cabin management and control system “Ovation Select”.

While most of us will not be able to use this app anytime soon. It still seems pretty awesome. So, what are your thoughts on this application? Would you take advantage of the passenger version of the app? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section down below!
