Duncan Aviation recently completed a stunning interior and exterior refurbishment on a Falcon 900EX at its full-service facility in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The project, which transformed the aircraft from nose to tail, drew inspiration from the owner’s brand-new Gulfstream and showcases Duncan Aviation’s hallmark attention to detail and quality.
The result of the transformation is a completely refreshed interior that feels refined and sophisticated, with a sleek, clean, and timeless design.
The aircraft’s exterior design was based on the owner’s new Gulfstream, with the Duncan Aviation Paint team carefully adapting the scheme to complement the Falcon’s distinctive fuselage lines.
Tracey Boesch, Duncan Aviation Senior Completions & Modifications Sales Rep, said: “The paint design mirrors the Gulfstream, but with accommodations for the Falcon body and shape,”.
“The result is a cohesive fleet look that connects both aircraft visually.”
A Calm, Refined Interior Transformation
Inside, Senior Lead Designer Stephanie Kuhn and Assistant Designer Lauren Burkhardt worked closely with the owner’s representatives to bring the same aesthetics from the Gulfstream into the Falcon.
“The Gulfstream featured bold diamond quilting on the seats and sharp contrasts,” said Kuhn. “For the Falcon, the owner wanted a softer, more harmonious feel.”
The new 100% wool carpet in a saturated beige tone serves as the foundation for the space, while the custom seat design—crafted with a rich cream leather, striking black welt cord, and a subtle organic soft-edge diamond stitch that mimics the subtle organic movement in the carpet—adds depth and visual interest.
The all-new seats include recliner leg rests and flex-wing headrests, providing both comfort and the latest features. The inlays were removed, and the drinkrails were redesigned for a cleaner, more modern appearance.
The interior features all-new veneer in a warm tone with a linear grain pattern, paired with satin nickel plating throughout for a classy finish.
The team incorporated the Duncan Aviation-designed, one-piece PSU overlay panels and modernised the drinkrails to create an updated look in the cabin that is also functional.
They developed the PSU overlay panels to provide an updated look to the cabin interior and integrated them with new up and downwash LED lighting.
They also allow for easy removal and installation compared to traditional PSU panels. The new light and air vent recess areas include a radiused design and are covered in the same material as the PSU overlay.
In addition, the team incorporated our new Duncan Aviation Finishing Touches.
Boesch said: “When doing a complete Falcon interior with our two, key Duncan Aviation-designed upgrades, including our Duncan Aviation-designed PSU (Passenger Service Unit) overlay panels and our drinkrail modernisation, we provide our Finishing Touches hardware package to complete the interior transformation.
“Our Design team has created new handles for the cabin window shades and drinkrails for a harmonious look with the same profile and style throughout the aircraft.”
