Camber Aviation Management and Alexander Craker were approached by a client with a passion for classic Italian motor yachts and bespoke British cars. The client wanted his soon-to-be acquired BBJ Max-7 aircraft to have a cabin that was inspired by his recently commissioned one-of-a-kind Rolls Royce, embodying the exquisite craftsmanship and luxuriousness for which Rolls Royce is renowned. The biggest challenge was to create a cabin that was both lightweight and graceful while capturing the hallmark substantial yet elegant look and feel of a Rolls Royce vehicle and the graceful lines of a classic Riva Aquarama boat.
To accomplish this, the partners invested almost a year of design, research, and discussions with the client to refine the perfect design. The BBJ Max-7 is designed to present high-standard luxury for passengers, offering an optimal combination of performance, cabin size, and comfort. It has more efficient engines, an extended range, and fuel-saving winglets, providing an increased travel range greater than its direct competitors. Despite being a narrow body, the Max-7 has a spacious cabin with a cross-section of 3.53m, providing a more airy environment for passengers to appreciate the luxurious surroundings and move about freely.
The innovative cabin combines nautical, automobile, and aviation themes harmoniously by using different materials such as wood, chrome, leather, and glass. The forward section is the most versatile and can be used for business meetings, discussions, or as a lounge area. The mid-section features a water-closet and private guest pods, while the aft section contains a private suite. The focal point is a stunning tiered fountain that acts as a natural gathering point for entertainment and socializing.
The entire interior is built with exquisite attention to detail, creating an intimate and collaborative environment without sacrificing space and freedom. The cabin is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, using the latest lightweight materials and techniques to create a weighty and resplendent feel for ultimate comfort and luxury. The BBJ Max-7 embodies the quality and luxuriousness that Rolls Royce is renowned for, providing passengers with an unparalleled travel experience.
