Welcome to the Hangar Developer Program
The Hangar Developer Program enables airlines and third party vendors to innovate, create and deploy applications for Panasonic InFlight entertainment systems. Developers can access SDKs, APIs, software releases and technical resources to assist in developing new applications or adding functionality to existing applications.
Get Started
SDK Packages
Panasonic provides primary SDK packages to allow developers to integrate their applications with the Panasonic InFlight platform.

APIs
The design and develop guides for APIs are created to assist in your development efforts. These guides are to be used as a supplement to the SDK packages.
View GuidesInteractives
The design and develop guides for Interactives are created to assist in your development efforts. These guides are to be used as a supplement to the SDK packages.
View GuidesDevLabs
DevLabs provide a guided, hands-on coding experience. You can step through the process of developing your project or adding additional functionality to an existing project.

Virtual Rack
Virtual Rack allows you to create test environments, configured based on platform requirements or aircraft configuration, then keep the rack intact and accessible to only the specified user or an entire team.
Learn MoreLoadables
You can create engineering loadables to test your design, then use the Panasonic engineering signing services to sign your binary code or Panasonic applications.

Control Seatback Monitor from Passenger's Personal Device
Touchless technology allows passengers to browse apps, such as media, catalogs and eReaders, displayed on the seatback monitor without physically touching the monitor. During a flight, the seatback monitor can process inputs based on physical movement, such as touch gestures on the screen of a paired personal electronic device (PED). These inputs are processed by the system algorithms to provide the specific output or actions required by the passenger.

For example, the passenger touches the screen on their electronic device to browse the movie selections, then selects and launches a movie.
Imagine no more reaching to touch seatback monitor to review media availability, select a movie to watch, control sound and brightness. During a flight, turn a personal electronic device into a remote that uses fling gestures, p-pad or touchpad to easily control the seatback monitor.
Additional Information
For the specific APIs, please refer to the Companion App SDK documentation. In addition, you can review the Companion App Developer Guide in the Design & Develop section of the Resources pages.
