Vans RV-10 – High-End Custom Interior Refurbishment
The Project
Generation Global was tasked with upgrading the interior of a home-built Vans RV-10 to match the standards of a high-end, factory-produced aircraft. The project required a fully customized interior, with a close collaboration between our team and the client. Our scope covered everything from sidewalls to headlining, ensuring the aircraft exuded luxury and sophistication at every touchpoint.

Seating and Cushions
-
Seat Covers: The seats were made using pearl leather (ADI-4071) as the main color, complemented by lead grey leather inserts that were perforated using SP1 perforation for a sleek, textured look.
-
The crew seats featured tall headrests that were embroidered with the RV-10 logo in lead grey stitching, giving the seating a unique and personalized touch.
Sidewalls and Trim Panels
-
Side Trim and Rear Bulkhead: We used a vinyl material to match the lead grey leather used on the seat inserts, creating a seamless and cohesive look throughout the interior.
-
Armrests: The armrests integrated into the center console were wrapped in the same pearl leather as the seats, creating a smooth contrast with the grey vinyl wraps on the rear armrests.
Headlining and Other Interior Elements
-
The headlining was finished in a light beige fabric (F15), adding warmth to the interior. The fabric wrapped around the winged doors, which were equipped with pearl leather pull handles.
-
We wrapped the instrument dash and glareshield in black vinyl and polyester wall lining fabric, respectively, enhancing the aircraft’s modern and sophisticated appearance.
Carpet and Additional Touches
-
The carpets were crafted from Genflor Peat WN-120 with black mesh binding, providing a clean and sleek base that contrasts beautifully with the rest of the interior.
Result
This Vans RV-10 interior now boasts a sleek, modern look, combining comfort, style, and high-end finishes throughout. The customized pearl and lead grey leather, paired with beige fabric headlining, vinyl sidewalls, and dark carpets, gave the aircraft a luxurious yet functional upgrade, transforming it into an interior that’s not just beautiful but also practical for the client’s needs.
