Foundation of Cabin Configuration

PACE pioneers digital cabin design with Airbus through Future Project Cabin Configuration (FPCC) Configuration inside CADS5 - Airbus’s early CAD system.
​

The first step toward automated aircraft configuration.

Pacelab Cabin - The First Generation

Launched in 1999, PACELAB Cabin becomes the foundation of aircraft configuration at Airbus. Successive versions (1.0–7.3) introduce catalog-based layouts and advanced data management.​

From marketing layouts to engineering deliverables.

Knowledge-Based Galley Configuration

PACE develops a 3D galley configurator to implement the official Galley Interface Specification, enabling precise and compliant galley designs for Airbus programs.​ This milestone marks one of the earliest uses of 3D cabin component configuration in the industry.​

A pioneering step toward smart, specification-driven cabin configuration tools.

Customization & Program Expansion

PACE tools support multiple Airbus programs including A380, A350, and single-aisle aircraft — introducing harmonized processes for cabin and equipment configuration.

Expanding from single projects to cross-program solutions.

MCM - Monuments Configuration Module

With Monuments Configuration Module (MCM), PACE advances toward modular, data-driven design — enabling precise, automated configuration of monuments and equipment.

Laying the groundwork for intelligent cabin components.

Building the ACE Foundation

Development of a robust PLM backbone and in-house data management and user system sets the stage for ACE’s digital continuity.

Connecting data, users, and configurations into one platform.

Expanding Across the Industry

Since 2013, PACE has grown ACE’s footprint across the global aerospace industry, partnering with leading OEMs, airlines, and seat manufacturers.​
ACE has become the trusted solution behind the configuration and delivery of a significant share of the world’s commercial aircraft.​

Adopted by the industry’s key players — from aircraft manufacturers to cabin suppliers.

myCabin - The New Era Begins

PACE launches myCabin, the first ACE-generation app — modern interface, smarter automation, and certifiable digital LOPA creation.

A new standard for aircraft layout definition.​

The ACE Ecosystem Takes Shape

The ACE suite expands into a complete ecosystem:​

myOffer (2018): Option selection and offer creation.​

myPlane / myFleet (2019): Configuration and fleet management.​

HALO (2023): Interactive 3D monument configuration.​

​

ACE becomes the unified digital workspace for aircraft configuration.

ACE - Aircraft Configuration Environment

Today, ACE covers the entire configuration process — from sales and marketing to engineering and fleet management — powered by advanced 3D capabilities, cloud, and digital continuity, ACE integrates immersive XR reviews, and new AI-powered automation to streamline repetitive tasks and accelerate decision-making.​

30 years of expertise, one integrated ecosystem.​
