Private Jet Interior Insights

Private jet interior enthusiasts will love exploring the Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty. In the world of private aviation, some of the biggest planes on earth are converted for private use. To better understand the aviation sector, we visited the Comlux facilities to check out their latest creation. This is the ACJ TwoTwenty, Airbus’s newest corporate jet. There are only two in operation in the world. And we got exclusive access to it before it was even delivered to its owner. Comlux gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how they build these one-of-a-kind jets and sat down with their CEO to learn more about what it takes to produce these planes.

• I always just say we’re a worldwide company because we don’t really have offices everywhere. We have people everywhere because opportunity is everywhere.
• The Private jet interior of the Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty combines unmatched luxury, comfort, and cutting-edge design for an extraordinary flying experience.

Exterior Dimensions and First Impressions of the Private Jet Interior

This is the brand new Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty. There are two of them in operation in the world and we have the second one right behind us. We’re currently at Indianapolis Airport, right next to the tarmac atthe Comlux facility. And Comlux is the exclusive outfitting partner of Airbus when it comes to these aircrafts. They’re building the first 17 with Airbus, and what an opportunity we have in our hand to tour this incredible aircraft and share this experience.

Now I wanna talk about the exterior dimensions of this aircraft. It’s 114 feet, nine inches long. Wing span is 115 feet, one inch. Now, right in front of us, we have one of two Pratt & Whitney 1500G engines that can push this aircraft to 624 miles an hour top speed. And the cruising speed of this aircraft is around 524 miles.

And then going to this side, we can walk right next to the landing gear. Look how little I look and these massive tires tuck into this space right here, which is crazy. And lastly, the tail section shows how far in those back tires are and the entire tail section floating up in the air.

Entry Lobby, Galley and Cockpit Access: Private Jet Interior Design

Off of the entry, we have this beautiful lobby area with patterned hardwood floors, wood paneled walls with LED lighting. It’s a nice warm welcome to this plane. And in front of me we have the hot section of the galley where you have ovens, food storage. This is the bathroom for the crew. And right in front of us we have the door opening up to the cockpit.

Inside the Minimalist Cockpit: Innovative Private Jet Interior

The cockpit of this airplane is so impressive. As soon as you walk in, you realize how minimalist it is. You don’t have any yokes, you have side sticks, beautiful minimalist screens. It feels very exciting to be here. And your control gauges, everything again is so futuristic. We have the thrust control here. You have your pedals on the feet that can help you with elevation and braking. Then you have your side sticks to control, lean the airplane as well as going up and down. And then you have your main screens on this side, autopilot right in the center. And we have more controls above us.

• Yes, yes. I really recommend the ACJ TwoTwenty. I really enjoy flying it. And this is for me, I have the best of all worlds. A business jet as you see the cabin.

Main Galley Design and Storage in the Private Jet Interior

On the other side we have the main galley, we have so much countertop space, base cabinets. I really like this upper section here where we have crystal glasses and they also have slots where these glasses sit so they’re nice and secure during a flight. Basically this is your main galley and you have the hot section on the other side, additional storage here.

Forward Lounge, Seating and Aircraft Specifications: Private Jet Interior Luxury

The next section is the forward lounge. we have in total, six seats here. So it features 786 square feet of interior space, can accommodate up to 19 passengers and it has a range of 5,650 nautical miles. That way you can fly anywhere from Los Angeles to London, London to Tokyo or New York to Istanbul. In regards to crew, you must have at least one steward, two pilots and one engineer on board.

Price is around $80 million. This particular plane is around low eighties and if you want to charter a plane like this, it’ll cost you around $13,000 an hour.

You have these exquisite seats with leather finish and custom details and these seats are 22 inches wide. Now right in the center we have this table set up that pops up and folds down. Look at all these electro chromatic windows and then you have mood lighting, suede panels.

On the other side we have two additional seats. Look at the dining setup here, how elegant this floating table is.

Service Galley, Bathroom and Main Lounge Ambience: Private Jet Interior Comfort

The next section is the service galley and the second bathroom. On the other side we have additional cabinetry, uppers, countertop space and a sink with a cover plate.

This is the main lounge where you can really see the length and the width of this aircraft. Between the mood lighting, paneling, and details it feels extremely airy.

How Comlux Manufactures and Outfits These Jets: Private Jet Interior Innovation

At this point it’s easy to observe how complicated these planes are when it comes to manufacturing and putting them together. And this is where Comlux comes in. Comlux is a vertically integrated company that covers a wide spectrum of aviation business from acquisitions, operation, outfitting, assembling and resale.

These ACJ TwoTwenties come directly from Airbus, fully assembled with an empty fuselage ready to be outfitted with an interior and finishes. From there, it goes through the stages of manufacturing parts, cabinetry, assembly and avionics and then the final process of putting the plane together.

Their CNC machines play a crucial role in manufacturing precise parts that comply with aviation standards and regulations. The honeycomb panels layered with veneers create lightweight yet durable furniture. Each panel and part must be 9G certified.

All of their wiring and harnesses are done in-house. Some components are 3D printed to maintain production schedules and precision.

This is why it can take up to 18 months to build one of these planes.

Dining Area and In-Flight Comfort Experience: Private Jet Interior Experience

Now let’s focus on the dining area here, again we have four seats. The leather palette is changed on this side. They can extend the table so that eight people can dine.

This plane’s level of comfort and quietness compared to a commercial airliner is on a league of its own. Between the amount of space you have to walk around and the amenities you have, the comfort is incredible.

Bedroom Suite and Sleeping Arrangement: Private Jet Interior Luxury

The next section is the bedroom suite. In this room we have two built-in sofas that are motorized and can turn into full-sized beds.

Full Bathroom with Walk-In Shower: Private Jet Interior Amenities

From here you go straight into the full bathroom. You have storage area, oversized vanity, and the highlight is the walk-in shower with a rain head above. You can use this shower up to 30 minutes.

Development Process and Product Vision: Private Jet Interior Innovation

We started developing this product six years ago when we had multiple mockups between Airbus, ourselves, our flight crews, potential customers, all adding their input.

To experience one of these is a treat.

Conclusion: Engineering Luxury in the Skies with Private Jet Interior

The ACJ TwoTwenty is exceptional. The comfort, sophistication and build quality of this plane is unmatched. It’s fascinating to see how Comlux manufactures, outfits and customizes these jets for clients in one place. They truly are engineering luxury here.
