Duncan Aviation announced the completion of a fully customized Challenger 605 interior and exterior that took a former charter jet and transformed it into a proud company showcase for its new owner. The Interior Team and Paint Shop in Battle Creek, Michigan, started with a dated interior and exterior and completely redesigned, refurbished, and repainted the entire aircraft.<\/p>\n
Scott Fitzgerald, a broker representing the owner, initially reached out to Duncan Aviation. \u201cI initially called for a quote on paint and interior based on the company\u2019s reputation as one of the top paint shops in the industry,\u201d says Scott.<\/p>\n
However, after viewing the 3D images of Duncan Aviation\u2019s Multimedia Illustrator, Ken Reita, the customer opted for a far more extensive renovation than he\u2019d originally envisioned.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen he saw the dramatic possibilities based on Ken\u2019s designs, our customer was delighted,\u201d says Completions and Modifications Sales Rep Adam Bruce. \u201cKen and I then flew to Miami with samples, and our customer selected the unique colors and materials to fully customize not only the interior but also the exterior of his aircraft.\u201d<\/p>\n
The renovation featured contemporary styling\u2014colors, textures, and materials, including quartz countertops, plush fabrics using a unique color palette, chrome plating, and high-gloss, light beige wood with graphite striations that are not radical by any stretch but aren\u2019t often seen in the interiors of business jets.<\/p>\n
Designer Reita took the customer\u2019s location, Miami, with its bright hues, light and energy, into consideration when pulling together the color palette for the project.<\/p>\n
The ability to converse in the cabin without shouting was also something the customer was concerned about. So the interior team brought in a specialist to gauge the noise levels in the cabin during test flights, and they conceived of a way to dampen the aircraft noise.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe augmented the sound-proofing package and dropped the noise level in the cabin from 3.8db to 2.4db,\u201d says Completions and Modifications Sales Rep Adam Bruce.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Duncan Aviation team was a pleasure to work with from start to finish,\u201d says Scott. \u201cThey were accommodating and willing to adapt on-the-fly to our changes throughout the term of the project.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
