F/LIST is proud to be a key partner in the creation of a new icon: the ACH140, the latest addition to the Airbus Corporate Helicopters (ACH) line, unveiled at Verticon 2026. Targeting customers in the private and business aviation sectors, the new helicopter introduces a new design language for the ACH family of products.

While the aircraft itself commands considerable attention, one of its most striking interior elements comes from F/LIST. The company designed and manufactured a bespoke cabinet for the ACH140's cabin.

The cabinet plays a central role in the interior's architectural design, combining high-quality materials, ergonomic design, and the craftsmanship that has made F/LIST a trusted partner for premium aircraft interiors.

Developed in close collaboration with Airbus and as part of the ACH Line interior concept, the cabinet complements the helicopter's new design language with elongated lines and ergonomic design elements within an exceptional cabin space. The result is a premium passenger experience specifically tailored to discerning customers in the private and business aviation sectors.

Designed for the Airbus Helicopters ACH140, the cabinet features a body with an elegant, satin-finish black lacquered surface. Two functional drawers with a dark gray textured surface underscore the balance between aesthetics and functionality.

A particular highlight is the cabinet tops and drawer fronts made of matte carbon fiber with a striking 45-degree carbon fiber weave. This sophisticated surface treatment emphasizes the aircraft's modern design DNA and showcases F/LIST's expertise in working with high-quality composite materials. Further exclusive details include two cupholders with brushed metal inlays, creating a subtle, luxurious feel. The console also integrates two storage compartments with leather-covered flaps. Inside, custom-fit holders for an iPhone and an iPad combine elegant design with sophisticated functionality.

For series production, the components will likely be manufactured using an advanced monocoque construction method with autoclave technology. This process ensures exceptional stability with minimal weight, offering a significant advantage for helicopter applications. In the CMF (Color, Material, Finish) category, end customers can choose from a wide range of high-quality and sustainable materials to create individual configurations, perfectly in line with ACH's bespoke luxury philosophy.
