Lufthansa Technik and Designworks took the wraps off a modular narrowbody VIP cabin concept designed for group travel today at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany. The concept, called The BOW, is designed for executive groups, sports teams, and touring musicians, and includes common and private spaces. Operators can reconfigure the interior layout, including private suites and common areas, for different missions.
A reception area with a bar, a central lounge with curved touchscreen displays and a presentation table, and private suites with dedicated storage are included in the cabin, which has capacity for up to 28 passengers. Automated partitions in some of the compartments can be adjusted to change privacy levels between suites.
Lufthansa Technik employed its cabin management system throughout the design. Features include hidden touch displays that integrate flush with interior surfaces, Omni-Fi speakers, curved OLED screens, and inductive charging modules. An “intellitable” combines touchscreen controls with tray tables.
“This concept offers customers unprecedented flexibility and allows operators to tailor every mission with an experience that is both highly functional and luxurious,” said Fabian Nagel, v-p of sales for VIP and special aircraft services at Lufthansa Technik.
Designworks—a BMW Group company acquired in 1995 that operates studios in Munich, Los Angeles, and Shanghai—was the design collaborator.
