Grob Aerospace returns to NBAA this year to showcase a new look cabin that will be standard aboard its new all-composite sp n light jet. The stylish interior, exclusively designed by Porsche Design Studio, can be seen in the full size cabin mockup on show at Booth No 7365. This modern look has also been extended to the cockpit of the sp n, offering owners and pilots alike the experience of world class elegance and comfort, combined with state of the art technology provided by the enhanced Honeywell Primus Apex avionics suite.

It is the first time that Porsche Design Studio has applied its philosophy and design to the interior and cockpit of a business jet, a design inspired by the clean lines of high end automotive interiors, featuring the finest high-quality material including high gloss wood veneer, metal finishing, alcantara and soft leather. (Grob Aerospace has selected fully articulated seats from Geven of Italy for its series production models, a partnership previously announced at EBACE in May this year).

"Our mission was to create an environment that reflected calm, elegance, comfort and functionality" said Roland Helier, Managing Director of Porsche Design Studio. "The feedback Grob Aerospace received on the new look cabin mock-up at EBACE in Geneva as well as in Oshkosh, WI, its first showing in the USA, is very encouraging," he said. "Grob Aerospace engineers and the Porsche Design Studio team have worked extremely hard to capture just what we wanted to achieve with this interior," said Niall Olver, CEO of Grob Aerospace, noting that extending the look to the cockpit has proved to be a smart decision. "The design language of Porsche Design Studio combined with the technological leadership of Honeywell delivers the ultimate cockpit experience a detail owner pilots are very enthusiastic about" he said.

Grob Aerospace is in Atlanta this week for the 60 th Annual Business Aviation Meeting and Convention. The company has secured in excess of 70 firm orders with significant non-refundable deposits, representing the equivalent of two years' production, from customers in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
