Texas-headquartered aircraft modifications and technology company GDC Technics has achieved the completion and delivery of two VVIP B787s to a confidential head of state customer. Both aircraft were completed with sophisticated VVIP cabins that integrate cutting edge technologies with state of the art materials and engineering solutions.

“These two aircraft are absolutely unmatched in the industry. Whether it be comfort, technology, design, aesthetics or ergonomic functionality, these aircraft have it all,” says CEO Brad Foreman. “We equipped the B787s with the latest connectivity and passenger comfort capabilities, including ARINC 791 Ka-Band Antennas, an industry first on a VVIP B787, Iridium antennas, satcom antennas, forward- looking cameras, therapeutic O2 discharge ports, quad cameras, downward zoom cameras, tail fin cameras and satellite TV antennas. The cabins were delivered with sound interface levels of 47.5 dB, allowing for a much quieter cabin in-flight, and additional humidification systems were provided to enhance passenger experience during long haul flights.

“In addition, the two B787s were completed with live television capabilities, a first for any VVIP B787. GDC has and will continue to pioneer the way for next generation aircraft and has mastered the engineering to do so, alongside its subsidiary GDC Engineering who partnered with Boeing on the development of the B787 aircraft.”

Chairman Mohammed Alzeer adds: “These B787 deliveries are a testimony to the success of our strategy of focusing on developing new, innovative, engineering and production techniques. Our commitment is to ensure that the cabins that we engineer and build match the sophistication of the next generation aircraft we install them in. We were able to achieve 20 per cent lighter weight reductions than industry estimates, providing our client with an operational advantage and fuel savings throughout the life of the aircraft.”

The company recently announced its new ownership structure and shared strategic vision with new partners Oriole Capital Group, Trive Capital and MAZ Aviation. The company plans to maintain its industry leadership in VVIP modification services, while leveraging the firm's comprehensive capabilities in design, composite/structural engineering and certification into new markets such as commercial and military modifications, communication and avionics upgrades, structural modifications and support services.
