Bombardier clearly believes it has achieved something of a coup in appointing Benn Isaacman as chief of design for Bombardier Aerospace, Business Aircraft, based at Tucson, Arizona. The company describes him as a man who has impacted virtually every major business airframe manufacturer in the last thirty years.\rVice president and general manager of business aviation services and Learjet operations, Jim Ziegler, is under no illusions about the experience that Isaacman will bring to the job. "Benn Isaacman is synonymous with the most impressive interior designs of the past three decades and we're happy to have him 'return to his roots'," he said.\r"He previously worked for Learjet from 1968-1983 and was responsible for the conception, design and engineering of the interiors on the Learjet 24B, 25, 35, 36 and the Model 55. Benn virtually created the first corporate aircraft interior design group during the late 1960s and developed many of the techniques and systems used throughout our industry." Ziegler believes that Isaacman's influence is apparent throughout the Bombardier product design, from the early Learjet aircraft to more recent design concepts for the Continental aircraft. "We are extremely pleased he has accepted this new challenge," he stated.
