The Project:
For this project, the Generation Global team provided a full interior kit for a Hughes 269C helicopter, a light utility aircraft commonly used in agricultural operations. The kit included seating, door inserts, and carpet floor coverings. Custom design elements were incorporated, with attention to both aesthetic appeal and durability, ensuring the interior suited the needs of this versatile aircraft.
