Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of head viewing systems for aircraft comprising a head support, a viewing device, a detection of posture of said head support, means for detecting the current heading of an aircraft and means for graphically generating said heading. The system according to the invention comprises means of control, display and selection of headings arranged so as: to display, in response to a first command, a second so-called setpoint heading and a third heading termed a “support heading” corresponding to the direction of the head support in a terrestrial reference frame, said direction given by the information arising from the detection of posture of said head support and the means for detecting the current heading; to replace, in response to a second command, said second heading by said third heading, said third heading thus becoming the new heading setpoint.

Abstract: A system for managing advertisements in an in-flight entertainment (“IFE”) system operating on an airplane can include an inventory processing device and a non-transitory computer readable medium. The non-transitory computer readable medium can be communicatively coupled to the inventory processing device to cause the inventory processing device to perform operations. The operations can include determining an inventory of targeted advertisements for future flights. The operations can further include receiving a request to use a portion of the inventory for advertisements associated with an advertiser. The operations can further include transmitting instructions to an IFE controller on-board the airplane to cause the IFE controller to provide the advertisements during targeted advertisement opportunities during a flight.
