Greenpoint Technologies delivered a VVIP Boeing BBJ 787-9 interior completion, after steering the project through from design and engineering to entry-into-service. Specializing in complex VVIP and head-of-state aircraft programs, the Moses Lake, Washington aircraft outfitting company served as a prime integrator, managing the manufacturing, mission integration, and certification for the completions work.
The project, for an undisclosed customer, involved the installation of multiple distinct living zones with elevated, custom-coved ceilings, enhanced acoustic engineering, and integration of in-flight entertainment (IFE) and communications systems. Included in the installation was Greenpoint’s enclosed AeroSuite, a private space that includes a lie-flat bed, separate reclining seat with sliding table and storage ottoman, an oversized monitor, and a full-height wardrobe.
The AeroSuite is fitted with customized finishes, accent lighting, and IFE and connectivity tailored to the customer’s preferences. Greenpoint manufactured interior monuments and assemblies in-house, customized to the aircraft interior architecture plans and in line with certification requirements.&nbsp;The vertical approach provided risk reduction, schedule certainty, configuration control, and direct accountability, the company said.
“Each completion strengthens our technical depth and reinforces the trust our private and government clients place in our Greenpoint team,” said Greenpoint Technologies CEO Klaus Koester. “The 787 is a highly sophisticated platform.”
