Green Design - Airplane Re-purposed

If you have fantasies of living like the Swiss Family Robinson or even the characters in Lost, this rainforest resort near Quepos, Costa Rica may be just the ticket. Situated on the edge of the Manuel Antonio National Park, the Costa Verde Resort features an incredible hotel suite set inside a 1965 Boeing 727 airplane. In its former life the airplane transported globetrotters on South Africa Air and Avianca Airlines, and it now serves as a two bedroom suite perched on the edge of the rainforest overlooking the beach and ocean.

Situated on the edge of the Manuel Antonio National Park, the Costa Verde Resort features an incredible hotel suite set inside a 1965 Boeing 727 airplane.The two-bedroom, two-bathroom suite also includes a kitchenette, flat-screen tvs, a dining room, and a terrace with an ocean view.'
What a great way to re-purpose an airplane.

The Grand Aviation Chandelier Design Concept - InterFlight Studio

The Grand Aviation Chandelier Design Concept
InterFlight Studio 

This amazing and wonderful chandelier design was thought up by the in-house design team at InterFlight Studio.  Using 100% real parts from an actual aircraft, this chandelier will stand apart from all other aviation related designs.  No one else in the world is making chandeliers from parts of an old airplane except InterFlight Studio.

Do you want to put something really impressive in that new lobby you have being built?, Or perhaps you have a home with really high ceilings.

No matter what your design needs are, InterFlight Studio can help you come up with a design that is truely over the top, original, and stands the test of time.  This chandelier already has so much history, and that history will only get richer as mankinds understanding of flight enters it's new chapter into space.

This chandelier is made with the cowling from a plane engine, and two sizes of turbine blades circle around the cowling.  For the actual lighting part of this design piece, actual lighting from airport runways were used to create a wonderful blue color.  This art piece is for someone and someplace very special.

Interior Design takes to new heights.

Interior Design is taking to new heights with InterFlight Studio's radical new and fresh concepts for aviation luxury design.  We have come up with several new concepts recently including the Turbine Blade Chandelier, the Fountain of Flight, and The Propeller Blade Sculpture.

Here is an example of a possibility for a lobby using interflight studio's propeller blade sculptures as the focal point of the installation.

This installation is sure to impress clients, visitors, and much more.  An impressive display of the magic of flight.  The propeller blades are certainly impressive and a limited item.

When it comes to your next interior design project, why not ask for some aviation inspiration from InterFlight Studio.  We can help you invision your client's dream and turn it into reality.

Scimitar Propeller Blade Sculpture - Modern Decor at its best

The Scimitar Propeller sculpture by InterFlight Studio, is one of the most valuable objects of decoration on the market today.  This rare propeller blade holds within it, a piece of aviation history and excitement.  There are only a limited number of these even in existence in the world.
Now, InterFlight Studio is offering them to collectors and art appreciators around the world for a value price.  This object is perfect for an art or design collector because of the history this piece holds.

InterFlight Studio:  Scimitar Propeller Blade Sculpture

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           A scimitar propeller is shaped like a scimitar sword, with increasing sweep along the leading edge. Typically scimitar propellers are constructed of lightweight or composite materials. In the early 1900s they were made of laminated wood. The combination of light weight and efficient aerodynamics results in more power and reduced noise.

Turboprops have a fairly narrow sweet spot at speeds below about 450 mph. All propellers lose efficiency at high speed, due to an effect known as wave drag which occurs just below supersonic speeds. This powerful form of drag exhibits sudden onset, and it led to the concept of a sound barrier when it was first encountered in the 1940s. In the case of a propeller, this effect can happen when the prop is spun fast enough that the tips of the prop start traveling near the speed of sound, even if the plane itself is not moving forward.Propfan engines use contra-rotating scimitar propellers to achieve turboprop efficiency levels at high subsonic air speeds comparable to that of turbofans.

This can be controlled to some degree by adding more blades to the prop, absorbing more power at a lower rotational speed. This is why some World War II fighters started with two-blade props and were using five-blade designs by the end of the war. The only downside to this approach is that adding blades makes the propeller harder to balance and maintain. At some point, though, the forward speed of the plane combined with the rotational speed of the propeller will once again result in wave drag problems. For most aircraft, this will occur at speeds over about 450 mph.

A method of decreasing wave drag was discovered by German researchers in WWII: sweeping the wing backward. Today, almost all aircraft designed to fly much above 450 mph (700 km/h) use a swept wing. In the 1940s, NACA started researching propellers with similar sweep. Since the inside of the prop is moving more slowly than the outside, the blade becomes progressively more swept toward the outside, leading to a curved shape similar to that of a scimitar.
