Airbus Corporate Jets and the Italian hypercar
Atelier Pagani Automobili unveiled a new cabin design for
the ACJ319neo, called Infinito, at the EBACE show on Monday.
A
key feature of the Infinito cabin is its sky ceiling, which can
bring a live view of the sky above the aircraft into the cabin –
or display other images.
“Art and Science can walk
together hand in hand: this is the Pagani philosophy,” said Horacio Pagani, founder & Chief Designer of
Pagani Automobili SpA. “The
combination of state-of-the-art composite materials never used
before in an aircraft, such as CarboTitanium, with the typical
design language of Pagani Automobili, has always represented our
signature. Applying our Reinassance touch into the wider spaces of
Airbus corporate jet cabins is the beginning of an exciting new
venture for us.”
Pagani’s design team created the initial Infinito
design, including its look and feel, while Airbus Corporate Jets’
designers contributed their experience in aircraft design and
compatibility.
Curves inspired by nature form a pathway
through the cabin, as well as featuring in the shell-shaped
valances and walls between zones – including one between lounge
and conference areas, which switches from opaque to transparent at
the touch of a button.
Décor is reminiscent of that gracing
Pagani hypercars, with natural soft-leather carpets and a wooden
floor contrasting with man-made carbonfibre in furniture and
wall-frames.
Sculpted metal
features, mirroring those found in Pagani hypercars, feature in
light-fittings and other details, while light-emitting diodes
(LEDs) enable different mood-lighting ambiances.
“In bringing together the
best of the supercar and business jet worlds, we enable an elegant
and seamless link for customers of both, while bringing a fresh
approach to cabin design and satisfying very demanding standards,”
says Airbus Corporate Jets Managing Director Benoit Defforge.
The new
ACJ319neo will be able to fly eight passengers 6,750 nm/12,500 km or
15 hours.
