Textron Aviation is opening the order book during NBAA 2017 for its $35 million Hemisphere, which will sit atop the product line as the company steps into the large-cabin market. The company (Booth N3530) has brought a mockup to the convention to showcase the three-zone cabin that will be fitted within a 102-inch-wide fuselage that is 43 feet long from the aft end of the cockpit to the pressure bulkhead on the back side of the in-flight-accessible baggage compartment. The company has developed different options for the interior to demonstrate the flexibility of the aircraft, said Rob Scholl, senior v-p sales and marketing.
