About Private Helicopter Aircraft Interior
Private Helicopter is a cabin interior design for a light private helicopter. The layout includes seats, a central console, ceiling lighting and a ventilation unit. Styling is inspired by high-end race car interiors, with angular lines and a palette of beige, grey and black with blue accents. Speakers inside the upper seat structure support an active noise cancellation system, so passengers do not need headphones. The seat bottom and backrest are ventilated, and each passenger can adjust the airflow and the temperature.
