„Die Aufgabenstellung war nicht Sicherheit oder Ästhetik, Leistung oder Effizienz, Komfort oder Dynamik. Sondern in jeder Dimension war unser Anspruch: Das Beste oder nichts. Kein anderes Auto steht so für das Markenversprechen von Mercedes-Benz wie die S-Klasse“ gab sich Mercedes-Chef Dr. Dieter Zetsche bei der Vorstellung der neuen Luxuslimousine in Hamburg selbstbewusst. Vor rund 750 internationalen Gästen aus Politik, Wirtschaft und Medien und musikalisch begleitet von den Hamburger Symphonikern und dem Weltstar Alicia Keys präsentierte Zetsche das Stuttgarter Flaggschiff im Airbus-Werk in Finkenwerder in einer Hollywood alle Ehre machenden Show und hofft, dass man mit einem Verkaufserfolg der S-Klasse die zahlreichen Negativ-Schlagzeilen der letzten Monate vergessen machen kann.

Aircelle (Safran)’s highly innovative method to display logos, advertising or other messaging with thin electro-luminescent markings on airliners and business jets has been unveiled during its first flight aboard an Airbus A380.
In an evaluation performed June 8 during the nighttime hours, the A380 testbed aircraft’s no. 1 outboard engine nacelle was outfitted with an Aircelle electro-luminescent display configured as an illuminated Airbus logo. Thanks to this flight, Aircelle was able to demonstrate the marking’s brightness, clarity and readability – confirming its outstanding visibility at various lighting conditions and distances.
With the thickness of a decal, the “Illuminate the Sky by Aircelle” patented solution can be easily modified and reprogrammed, allowing for a variety of images or messages to be displayed and changed. It is capable of showing a full range of graphics, patterns and animations, with placement almost anywhere on an aircraft – from the fuselage and under-fuselage belly to the engine nacelles and tail.
