ВСЕГДА ЗАНИМАЕМ ЛИДИРУЮЩИЕ ПОЗИЦИИ. 17 ДЕКАБРЯ 2024 Роналду в восторге от ливреи Happy Design Studio Jet Футбольной звезде Кристиано Роналду так понравилась ливрея его недавно приобретенного Global Express XRS, что он сохранил дизайн, разработанный студией Happy Design, и добавил только свои инициалы и силуэт рядом с дверью салона, чтобы придать индивидуальности необычной окраске. «Он выбрал этот дизайн, потому что он очень заметен», — сказал Дидье Вольфф, основатель студии Happy Design Studio. «Я полагаю, что он хочет поделиться некоторыми чертами своей индивидуальности и не хочет скрывать свои путешествия на частном самолете». «Уделяя особое внимание дизайну и созданию ливрей на заказ для частных, коммерческих и военных самолетов, студия Happy Design Studio также осуществляет покраску самолетов своих клиентов в выбранных ими цветах, всегда с целью достижения индивидуальной эстетики премиум-класса», — говорится в сообщении компании. «Каждый проект задуман как уникальное произведение искусства, сочетающее в себе визуальную гармонию, современность и тщательную проработку деталей». Концепция Futurliner для Bombardier Global 7500 Основатель дизайн-студии Happy Дидье Вольфф создал концептуальный Bombardier Global 7500 в честь будущего лайнера General Motors. На выставке MEBAA 2024 компания представила ливрею Ronaldo, а также уникальную концепцию, основанную на знаменитом GM Futurliner, который называли «авангардным автобусом», директором проекта которого был дизайнер General Motors Харли Эрл. Позже Эрл стал отцом легендарного Corvette. Концепция Вольффа, адаптированная для Bombardier Global 7500, отражает стиль экстерьера Futurliner в стиле ар-деко, разработанный дизайнером Робертом Э. Бингманом и отличающийся обтекаемостью, вдохновленной трейлером Airstream 1930-х годов. «Дизайнеры также вдохновлялись бомбардировщиком Boeing Flying Fortress, представленным в 1935 году, и предусмотрели пол кабины из оргстекла», — сказал он.

CHRISTIANO RONALDO’S GLOBAL EXPRESS IS VERY COOL The soccer star loved the Happy Design Studio paint job so much that all he added were his initials. MATT THURBER | DECEMBER 2024 Soccer star Christiano Ronaldo liked the livery of his newly purchased Global Express XRS so much that he kept the paint job designed by Happy Design Studio and added just his initials and silhouette to next to the cabin door to personalize the unusual paint job. “He chose that one because it’s ultra-visible,” said Didier Wolff, founder of Happy Design Studio. “I assume he wants to share an aspect of his personality and doesn’t want to hide his travel on his private jet.” With a focus on design and creation of custom liveries for private, commercial, and military aircraft, Happy Design Studio also oversees paint work of its clients’ aircraft in the shops that they select, “always with the goal of achieving bespoke, premium aesthetics,” the company said. “Each project is conceived as a unique work of art, combining visual harmony, modernity, and meticulous detail.” Wolff recently highlighted the Ronaldo livery at a business aviation show in Dubai—as well as a unique concept based on the famous GM Futurliner, described as “an avant-garde bus,” for which General Motors designer Harley Earl was the project director. Earl later became the father of the iconic Corvette. Wolff’s concept, adapted to a Bombardier Global 7500, pays tribute to the art deco exterior styling of the Futurliner, conceived by designer Robert E. Bingman and featuring streamlining inspired by the Airstream trailer from the 1930s. “The designers were also inspired by the Boeing Flying Fortress bomber, introduced in 1935, and included a Plexiglas dome for the cabin,” he said. The art deco-inspired GM Futurliner. “The design fits well [on the global 7500],” Wolff said. “This is a design concept and is a way to attract customers. This is a red-and-white bait. I think if it’s a beautiful livery design, it will be first to sell. Some owners don’t vote for discretion; they want to be visible.”

PILOOT en vliegtuig Geeft ‘vleugels’ aan jouw passie Ronaldo verruilt G200 voor Global Express XRS 16 december 2024 | 60 Views STRAATSBURG – Didier Wolff van de Franse Happy Design Studio heeft op verzoek van voetballer Cristiano Ronaldo een kleine aanpassing doorgevoerd in de door Wolff ontworpen livery van een Bombardier Global XRS. De zakenjet werd recent door de Portugese aanvaller aangekocht. Ronaldo was zo gecharmeerd van Wolff’s eerder aangebracht ontwerp dat hij alleen zijn initialen CR7 en een silhouet naast de cabinedeur liet aanbrengen om de zakenjet verder te personaliseren. Voorafgaand aan de aankoop van de tweedehands XRS verplaatste het gezin Ronaldo (vader, moeder Georgina Rodriguez en vijf kinderen) zich van A naar B in een kleinere Gulfstream G200, alsmede een G650 voor de langere afstanden. De G200 met een vliegbereik van 3.394 nm (6.300 km) werd verkocht en maakte plaats voor de XRS. Dat toestel heeft een vliegbereik van 6.390 nm (11.390 km) en biedt plaats aan dertien passagiers.

Saudi now offering annual permits for private aircraft Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Civil Aviation (GACA) has announced a new directive approving annual permits for private aircraft owners. The permits apply to domestic or international aircraft used for personal, non-commercial purposes, provided they meet the approved requirements. They are expected to reduce bureaucracy. Before the measure was introduced, private operators were obliged to obtain individual permits for each flight. GACA said the initiative would complement existing individual flight permits, allowing private aircraft owners to travel to, from, and within the country more easily without needing a separate permit for each flight. One industry executive speaking with AIN on condition of anonymity said he understood that the authority was trying to promote aviation in Saudi Arabia but argued the approach was not the way to go about it. “This will simply promote the gray [charter] market in the Kingdom,” he said. Although an operator certificate (GACA Part 125) for private operations—similar to FAA Part 91—prohibits revenue-earning flights on private aircraft, the reality is that GACA often has a difficult job policing passengers. According to the industry source, Part 125 operators illegally carrying passengers for hire often simply say the equivalent of “this is my friend” in cases where investigations are conducted. Meanwhile, several operators are calling for smaller aircraft to cater to the charter market, especially in the domestic setting. The General Aviation Roadmap, launched earlier this year, aims to prioritize the growth of private operations based in the Saudi Arabia and streamline procedural requirements.
