North America-based
precision engineering company MSB Design is introducing a first of a
kind, up-lit crystal glass rack holder to light up aircraft galleys.
The new product has been
developed by the MSB Design engineers for the Gulfstream G500 galley
to provide a robust stowage system for valuable crystal and
glassware, whilst at the same time providing an elegant, subtle new
source of lighting. The holder will be on display at this year’s
NBAA on the Gulfstream G500 at Henderson Executive Airport.
The intelligently
designed transparent galley racks are made of aerospace grade
polycarbonate material, and plated components, which ensure valuable
crystal and glassware is securely stowed. With the addition of the
low voltage LED up-lighting, an elegant glow is emitted through the
translucent units.

MSB has designed the
product specifically as a standard line-fit option on board
Gulfstream G500 and G600 aircraft. Customizable variants will also
be available, allowing owners to select their own preferred crystal
shape option, or holder design. This is the first time MSB Design
has provided any type of insert or glass rack with the additional
lighting feature.
“Galleys have
traditionally been the domain of the flight attendant, and are not
often given as much thought to in terms of design, as the passenger
areas of the cabin. However, we are seeing more OEMs and completion
centers paying attention to the ambience in this area,” says
Shannon Gill,
MSB Business Development Director. “We have created this very
special unit on behalf of Gulfstream but anticipate that we will see
an increased demand for similar products from other customers over
time.”
MSB already works
with Gulfstream to provide china and flatware inserts with options
available on the Gulfstream G650, as well as the Gulfstream G500 and
G600 family, by customer selection. The conference tables
manufactured by MSB are also available on board Gulfstream G500 and
G600 models. |
