er windows mean more space in each of the seating areas. The Gulfstream signature oval windows are a hallmark of our aircraft. These windows flood the cabin with natural light and provide a stunning, wide-screen view of the world—or sky—out- side.
Are there any similarities in
aircraft interior design and residence interior design? Gulfstream’s large-cabin
aircraft can fly long distances nonstop, and the cabin becomes an extension of its passengers’ home and office. Our design ap- proach is to help make that tran- sition seamless. With the four living areas that the G600 offers, we can approach the cabin like
one would a home, depending on how each space will be used, and ensure the living areas all flow well together—while resi- dences have distinct rooms, you also want to maintain the same feeling within an aircraft.
What does the future hold for aircraft design? Emerging technologies will
affect everything from enter- tainment to the cabin interface. Advances in efficiency and alternative fuels, innovations in flame-retardant textiles and lighter-weight materials, like carbon fiber, will also have an impact on cabin design. 2
