From Classic to Cutting-Edge: A Guide to Evolving Your Aircraft Cabin
The cabin experience is one of the most personal and unique
parts of aircraft ownership. From the overall aesthetic to the
finer details, aircraft cabins are intentionally suited for a
variety of owners and missions. Cabins have the versatility to
serve as in-flight offices, serene havens for relaxation or
customized spaces for specialized missions. But it's no secret
that missions and tastes change, which may leave owners with
questions about how to evolve their aircraft to align with its
occupants. The solution is called cabin modernization - a
concept utilizing technological advancements and the
development of new features to grant owners the opportunity to
improve their aircraft as they see fit.
What is cabin modernization?
Cabin modernization, put simply, refers to the process of
evolving many aspects of your aircraft cabin using the latest
technology and features available. The process is catered
specifically to each owner matching personal style and
preference. At Textron Aviation, in-house engineers and
experienced design teams offering personalized guidance and
recommendations. With incomparable manufacturer knowledge and
expertise from those who design and build the aircraft,
Textron Aviation offers the most suitable solutions for you.
Textron Aviation Options
-
Seating Reconfiguration
While design and appearance are paramount to a successful
cabin modernization endeavor, functionality should remain
top of mind. Often, functionality comes to life in the
floor plan. As an owner with a good understanding of your
aircraft usage, you have the opportunity to work with
experienced engineers to adjust the layout of your
aircraft. As long as certain federal and engineering
specifications are followed, you can change the look and
feel of your cabin, while also enhancing usability.
-
Seat Styling
The small details make a big difference when it comes to
your cabin's interior. Decorative, distinctive stitching
gives seating a refined, elegant look with contrasting
thread, quilted leather inserts, contoured bolsters,
accent leather and monograms. Think of the seat as your
own work of art as Textron Aviation experts make
recommendations on design, tailoring and ergonomics.
-
Galleys
Evolving and modernizing your aircraft means considering
all aspects of flight, including nourishment. Adding
specific technological advancements to your galley allows
you to use your favorite appliances - including coffee and
espresso machines, microwaves and more. Or, if you're
someone looking for additional space, a myriad of choices
of drawers, cabinets and shelves are available.
-
Connectivity
Wireless technologies have become indispensable in our
personal and business lives. Upgrading wireless
connectivity platforms allows you to make the most of your
electronic devices while on board. But don't feel as if
you need to be up to date on the latest technology
yourself. That's what Textron Aviation experts are there
for.
-
Cabin Management Systems
From productivity to entertainment, a cabin management
system that allows passengers personalized comfort is a
sure way to improve the cabin experience. These systems
allow your crew and passengers to adjust various
functions, including temperature, lighting and in-flight
entertainment.
-
LED Accent Lighting
Just as you can adjust the layout of your seats and
galley, you can also personalize the type of lighting in
the cabin. LED lighting options provide versatile and
unique accents to your cabin's interior and can be
designed to adhere to your specific needs.
-
Aircraft Clean Air (ACA) Units
Air filtration systems have been on Textron Aviation
aircraft for decades, but some owners have shown interest
in adding another layer to their health peace of mind. The
solution is
ACA Units. These units produce ionized molecules that attach
themselves to most viral bacterial and fungal pathogens,
neutralizing them.
-
A Personal Touch
From carefully selected pillows that complement the
interior design to premium linens that exude comfort and
elegance, every detail can be tailored to reflect the
owner's taste and style. Textron Aviation designers love
the challenge of exceeding the expectations of owners with
specific requests.
-
Acoustics
Customization with Textron Aviation means striking all
senses. Owners with specific interest in the acoustics of
their aircraft can work with trained engineers to evolve
aircraft speaker systems. It's another dimension of
comfort and personalization achieved by those who know
your aircraft best.
Why should I consider cabin modernization?
There are plenty of reasons for owners to consider evolving
their aircraft through cabin modernization.
Making the choice to upgrade not only improves the life of
your aircraft, but often can help with resale value if your
mission ever requires you to step up in aircraft size. As you
can imagine, a modern, functional design with next-gen
technology can make your aircraft stand out amongst others.
Consider too the more you fly your aircraft, the more you
understand your specific mission requirements. Now that you
are an expert in exactly what works best for you, you can
adjust your aircraft to match. From connectivity to
configuration, designing an aircraft to suit your established
needs will render an experience succinctly suited to you.
If you're unsure whether you're ready to evolve, consider this
- it's hard to accurately quantify the experience of flying in
an aircraft that feels, looks and sounds like you. Whether the
passengers on board are clients, colleagues or your loved
ones, you know more than anyone that their experience matters.
Private aircraft are often revered as time machines, saving
you valuable moments money cannot buy. This is how you make
each of those moments even better.

process. By working with the OEM (Original Equipment
