West Star Aviation Integrates Carbon Fiber into Aircraft
The company has integrated carbon fiber into five aircraft refurbishment and/or exterior paint projects since last year.

While carbon fiber has been readily used in the structure of aircraft for some time, it’s now making its way into the interior and exterior of the aircraft. When integrated into the cabin, carbon fiber covers surfaces where wood veneer is traditionally used, such as countertops, side ledges, tables or bulkheads. West Star Aviation has integrated carbon fiber into five aircraft refurbishment and/or exterior paint projects—including a G200, Challenger 604 and Falcon 900—since 2014. In addition, West Star has completed an exterior paint project with carbon fiber paint.
