Flying Colours CRJ Conversion Case Study

Flying Colours regards its 13th and most recent CRJ conversion as its most ambitious–“an aircraft completely personalized to [the client’s] requirements.” The company worked with Harry Schnaper (the private owner’s designer), lead in-house designer Kate Ahrens and its engineering team to create “externally and internally, its most complex, bespoke ExecLiner yet.”

The specification incorporated a number of firsts that involved extensive engineering and design innovation: a clean-sheet design shower in the aft lavatory (the first in a CRJ conversion), a customized pivoting bed enabling passengers to store the bed against the aft-cabin wall and an Elbit Systems head-up display and infrared enhanced-vision system. Flying Colours also designed an integrated smoke-extraction system.
