F/LIST, a pioneer in innovative cabin solutions, and Pilatus Aircraft Ltd are showcasing a Pilatus PC-24 Super Versatile Jet cabin cross-section at this year’s NBAA-BACE 2024 to highlight the potential for using sustainable materials in aircraft interiors. Located on the Pilatus static exhibit, the intricate mock-up features existing F/LAB bio-based materials alongside the latest addition to the portfolio, the new plant-based F/LAB Natural Oil varnish, as Pilatus emphasizes the importance of sustainability within the cabin.
The transparent F/LAB Natural Oil minimizes the release of harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the environment while enhancing the grain and beauty of wood veneers. A subtle matt sheen and tactile finish highlight the natural patterns and whorls of the surface. The oil finish is engineered for durability with scratch and stain-resistant qualities, enabling regular usage with minimal maintenance.
The eco-friendly mock-up enables Pilatus to introduce customers to the next generation of sustainable interior materials available for its jet interiors. The PC-24 Super Versatile Jet exemplar features a contemporary cabinet, sidewalls, bulkhead and side ledge, which showcase the versatility of the products. The configuration perfectly balances the F/LAB Natural Oil American Walnut Veneer grain sample with the F/LAB Aenigma Eco bulkhead, which incorporates recycled stone dust, the F/LAB Whisper Leather lower side panel, a dramatic F/LAB Linfinium countertop incorporating precious marble remnants, and the natural lines of the F/LAB Fresco Décor on the upper side panel, which adds a subtle extra dimension to the cabin environment.
The F/LAB represents the center of innovation for Austria-headquartered F/LIST and is a dynamic hub for creative thinking, cross-discipline collaboration, and imaginative experimentation where ingenious cutting-edge technology meets ecological responsibility.
