World premiere: Pilatus takes the lead in cabin innovation with F/LIST Shapeshifter-inspired material

F/LIST, a pioneer in innovative cabin solutions, and Pilatus Aircraft Ltd present the first use of the bio-based material F/LAB Aenigma in the cabin of a business aircraft. The customized Aenigma material, which was used for the bulkhead and decorative surfaces of a PC-24 Super Versatile Jet, will be highlighted on Pilatus' static display during NBAA-BACE 2023.

The F/LAB Aenigma variant with which the PC-24 is equipped - including bulkhead and decorative surfaces - demonstrates the versatility and possibilities of the material.

Inspired by F/LIST Shapeshifter, the F/LAB Aenigma opens a new chapter in aerospace materials, presenting an ingenious blend of cutting-edge technology and environmental responsibility. Unveiled at NBAA 2022, the first installation demonstrates that the market potential for applications is endless and only the imagination sets limits to its use. Its exceptional, innovative design, environmentally friendly properties and high-quality features earned Aenigma the prestigious Red Dot Design Award in spring 2023.

The PC-24 version of the F/LAB Aenigma demonstrates the versatility and possibilities of the material. F/LIST's multidisciplinary innovation team, known as F/LAB, responded to customer demand for a lightweight, hard and durable surface with a metallic finish. This version of the F/LAB Aenigma features a stunning silver finish achieved through the use of pure metal powder and no synthetic or petroleum-based pigments. By incorporating renewable raw materials from wood, each square meter of the revolutionary Aenigma panel sequesters a remarkable 400 liters of CO2, contributing to a greener and more environmentally conscious aviation landscape.

 

"We are excited to introduce this new material to industry delegates as we pave the way to new sustainability standards in the aviation industry. This chameleon-like material epitomizes the versatility of our F/LAB alchemists, highlights the endless potential for designers and shows that the trend is increasingly moving towards sustainable options for interiors," says Katharina List-Nagl, CEO of F/LIST.

 

The debut installation of the material in the bulkheads of the Pilatus PC-24 underscores the continued success of the long-standing relationship between Pilatus and F/LIST and their shared commitment to exceeding customer expectations through ingenuity, excellence and the highest standards of service. "Pilatus Aircraft and F/LIST are both committed to advancing aviation through innovative technologies and sustainable practices. The F/LAB Aenigma confirms our shared vision and commitment to driving positive change in the industry," says Ignaz Gretener, Vice President of Pilatus' Business Aviation division. "We look forward to inspiring our customers with this new material and exploring, identifying and designing future sustainable cabin interiors."
