Im an aircraft engineer working on private aircraft and have been asked a weird one by one of our owners. The aircraft already has 4 screens and 2 dvd's built in but they woudl like some portable ones for the kids to watch dvd's on. They would like the dvd players to have a screen size comparable to a normal laptop, i would say 17" or so (15+ for sure). It's totally out foxed me and i dont even know where to start looking. anyone got any ideas or links they could provide??

Thanks, Graham

Use a Tablet touchscreen laptop with somthing like MCE front end on it.

Then have media server on aircraft can stream the media to them ?

that looks smart, tbh im leaning more towards a laptop, due to the issues of fitting it. It has to be a carry on item otherwise it all has to be aircraft approved which takes months and costs thousands. Cant Mod the aircraft in any way. nvm ill keep looking.

A lot of laptops will struggle to play a whole DVD on one battery charge

can run the laptop off of the aircraft power supply so battery life isnt an issue... THAT much. thanks for thought though!
