As NBAA opened the doors to its annual Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition in Orlando, Florida, SyberJet unveiled the cockpit layout and design for the SJ30 business jet, a modernized version of Sino Swearingen’s SJ30.

Mark Fairchild, SyberJet’s general manager and director of sales and customer service, said the cockpit redesign took into consideration that many SJ30s are owner operated. As a result the cockpit is designed to be both functional and stylish. The layout was conceived by Jason Castriota, high-end automotive interior designer with more than 12 years of experience working with Italian design firms. Castriota used a blend of carbon fiber veneers, brushed aluminum, ultra suede and smooth leather materials combined with bright red thick stitching, creating a luxurious look. Fairchild said the cabin design will incorporate a similar blend of materials and will offer four or five color schemes.
