Robinson R44 Interior Upgrade Project
Project Overview
For this project, Generation Global supplied an upgraded interior for a Robinson R44 helicopter. The upgrade package included seat upholstery, carpets, headlining, and a rear bulkhead. The parts were purchased from Generation Global’s website and shipped for free to the client in the United States.
Custom Upholstery and Interior Features
The seats were designed using the Generation II style, which offers a more rounded look compared to the original OEM design. This design ensures compatibility with all models of the Robinson R44 and provides an updated aesthetic while retaining the same functional benefits. The seat upholstery was crafted using Ancient Grey (ADI-1151) aviation leather, providing both durability and a sophisticated look.
The floor coverings were made from a darker Peat (WN-120) color carpet, complete with underlay backing for added comfort and durability. Special cutouts were incorporated into the carpets to accommodate floor-mounted heaters, ensuring that the interior remains functional and comfortable for both the crew and passengers.
The headlining was made from Ancient Grey headlining fabric (ADI-1151), ensuring consistency with the overall color scheme. The rear bulkhead was carefully tailored with cutouts to allow for the air-conditioning system and handholds, making it easier for passengers to climb into the helicopter.
