THE PROJECT>
The AS350 “Squirrel” is a popular light utility helicopter. Originally made by French company Aerospatial, it is today manufactured by Airbus. This project saw us working on an Australian client’s AS350 - we performed a complete interior refresh, replacing the crew and pax seating, the rear fold-down pax seat base covers, the rear fold-down seat base foam inserts, the rear door insert panels, the headlining, and the bulkhead panels. All parts used in this project can be found on Generation Global’s website.

The interior upholstery of this AS350 helicopter was primarily in Ancient Grey leather (ADI-1151). All seats used this leather on their cover surfaces, with inserts being perforated in pattern SP-05. Handsome quilted stitching (SA001) was done in the same gray hue, creating a subdued, monotone look. We also utilized ancient gray leather on each rear door insert panel to match the seats. The headlining and bulkhead were finished with Ancient Gray synthetic leather (ADI-1151); each panel was wrapped in synthetic leather, which was carefully laminated to a foam backing. The final product of this work was a clean and cohesively-themed interior that our client was very pleased with.
Both the crew and the pax seating in this AS350 were of a Generation I style. All seat backrest and bottom cushions were piped on their outer seams with ancient grey piping. Detailed Airbus logos - embroidered in an overlayed, black-and-white design - were placed on each seatback. These really stood out against their muted backgrounds.
Finally, the rear fold-down pax seat base covers (which mount directly onto each fold-down seat base) were made from a sharp black leather (ADI-1091 ). The foam inserts were manufactured from durable yet comfortable Genlite foam. Each cover sported velcro attachments on its face which allow for easy attachment to pax seat bases.
