Epic Aircraft E1000 Mockup Features Vision Systems SPD-Smart Nuance Electronically Dimmable Windows(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) BRIGNAIS, FRANCE and WOODBURY, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 10/14/14 -- Research Frontiers (NASDAQ: REFR) -- On Epic Aircraft's new E1000 aircraft, you can press a button, or touch your phone or tablet, and control the tint of your aircraft windows without using conventional shades or blinds. The Epic E1000 is anticipated to be the fastest, highest performing, most comfortable six-person single-engine turboprop in the world. Epic Aircraft will unveil a mockup of this soon-to-be-certified aircraft at next week's NBAA trade show, and it features Vision Systems Nuance solution of SPD-Smart electronically dimmable window (EDW). Vision Systems' Nuance windows for the E1000 mockup have been produced at Vision Systems' American production unit, the only industrial plant in America fully equipped to produce complete systems of EDW (electronics and lamination) in series. Vision Systems' SPD-Smart dimmable windows offer instant and precise light and glare control at all levels, which provides a solar protection solution that enhances flying comfort and supports fuel efficiency. These EDWs offer complete control of daylight and heat entering the cabin, instantly transform the look of the interior at the touch of a button, and synergistically complement other cabin systems for an unequalled passenger experience. They are impact-resistant, have no moving parts, are completely silent, and can be controlled by passengers or cabin-wide by the crew. Joseph M. Harary, President and CEO of Research Frontiers, noted: "The use of SPD-Smart EDWs on the Epic E1000 mockup is the latest in a recent string of successes for Vision Systems, and is another indicator of the aerospace industry's keen interest in using our film-based SPD-Smart light-control technology. Vision Systems SPD-Smart windows have been selected as standard equipment on Honda Aircraft's HondaJet, their SPD-Smart skylights were chosen as standard equipment on Dassault's Falcon 5X, and selected by Eurocopter for their EC175 VIP helicopter mockup. Now the trend continues with Epic's E1000 mockup which features Vision Systems' Nuance solution of SPD-Smart aircraft windows." The NBAA trade show, the world's largest business aviation event, is being held October 21-23 in Orlando, Florida, and the Epic 1000 mockup will be at Epic Aircraft's booth #4677. Visitors can see the entire line of Vision Systems' Nuance and Noctis solutions of SPD-Smart aircraft window products at the Vision Systems booth #1551 at the NBAA.
