Light aircraft interiors have come a long way from the thinly padded seats and hard, textured plastic door paneling many of us recall from decades ago or more recently as flight students in well-worn trainers.

Now Textron Aviation, a unit of Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT), is raising the standard by introducing a range of interior upgrades to its lineup of Cessna high-wing piston models, including the Skyhawk, Skylane, Turbo Skylane, and Turbo Stationair HD.
