The Toshiba ER-A01 microwave oven recently installed on JAL Boeing 767, is the first oven of its kind to be successfully produced for large passenger airplane. This new microwave oven will reduce cooking time from previous 20 minutes to 5 minutes. It has formerly been difficult to meet the rigid requirements placed on microwave ovens to be used on airplane. For example, the ovens must have sufficient load and vibration-resistance to withstand the intensive acceleration and deceleration present during take-offs and landings. Additionally, there can be no leakage of electromagnetic waves that might interfere with airplane systems. The Toshiba microwave oven meets each of them. This oven is the first microwave oven that received approval for commercial airplane use from the Ministry of Transport in Japan and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States.
