Virgin Atlantic Upper Class Suite
Envisage were approached by Virgin Atlantic to engineer and manufacture full-scale prototypes for the new Virgin Atlantic Upper Class interiors.
Overview
Envisage were approached by Virgin Atlantic to engineer and manufacture mock-ups for the Virgin Atlantic Upper Class interiors. These mock-ups were for final design sign off and to allow frequent flyers the opportunity to try out the new environment.
Approach
Based on a design from Virgin Atlantic, Envisage were able to manufacture a full-size section of a fuselage mock-up which sat at a flight angle. The fuselage was engineered and manufactured to represent a new Upper Class Suite.
15 rows of seat configurations were included with a bed, reclined, and upright positioned models. Seats were manufactured, trimmed, and installed. All other finishes and electronics were installed to create the experience of being in a real flying experience.
An Upper-Class Suite Bar was produced with seating to enable Virgin Atlantic customers to experience all that Upper Class has to offer.
The model was constructed onsite at our facility in Coventry, reviewed by the client and then deconstructed to be shipped to Gatwick Airport where the model was reconstructed.
Conclusion
The models were used for flight experiences, whereby regular fliers were invited to experience the environment as though on a normal flight and were then asked for feedback on their experience.
