MMM - 3M Safran to design cleaner aircraft interiors in response to COVID-19
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, "today, passengers choose their airline - considering not only safety, interactivity and connectivity, but interior hygiene assurance," said Stephen Shafer, vice president and general manager of 3M's Automotive and Aerospace Solutions Division.As a result, 3M ([[MMM]] +0.8%) and Safran Cabin ([[SAFRY]] -0.2%) have inked a partnership to help design cleaner aircraft cabin interiors that can be permanently embedded into aircraft interior surfaces during the manufacturing process, or can be applied to upgrade existing interiors.The exclusive partnership will leverage the research capability of both companies to realize a shared vision for seamless, safe and stress-free travel. It's expected that the new aerospace materials will be available in 2021.
