Flexjet has selected “Carolina,” an aircraft interior design created by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University freshman Woojae Sohn and his father, Youngmin Sohn, as the winner of its Project LXi—Design the Ultimate Private Jet Interior contest. The Sohns won a $100,000 prize for their design, which will be installed in one of Flexjet’s Gulfstream G650s and added to the company's LXi Cabin Collection.

More than 150 entries were submitted following the contest’s launch in October. A Flexjet panel narrowed down the entries to 12, after which the public voted to select six semi-finalists. Flexjet designers then created detailed renderings of those finalists before sourcing materials to help guide the final decision by Flexjet chairman Kenn Ricci.
