  • Man Lives In A Boeing 727 In The Middle Of The Woods<br />
<br />
Bruce Campbell is an inventive engineer who bought a retired Boeing 727 aircraft fuselage and upcycled it into an unusual and innovative home. The huge 3-engine commercial airliner is propped up on concrete pillars in a suburban wooded area outside of Portland, Oregon, and has its own driveway.<br />
<br />
The aircraft features a makeshift shower, but he is still working to install a working lavatory and to restore some of the plane’s original interior elements, like seating and lights. Campbell lives in this plane 6 months every year, and spends the other part of the year in Japan, where he is also looking to buy and similarly re-use a retired Boeing 747 fuselage. The 10 acres where he’s building his Oregon home cost $23,000 when he bought them in his 20s, and the plane set him back $220,000.<br />

  • He's flying without wings! Father builds Boeing 737 cockpit in his son's bedroom<br />
<br />
While many air-plane enthusiasts are content to keep their hobby confined to shows or miniature models, for one man this was simply not enough.<br />
<br />
A French father has instead taken his obsession to an extraordinary level - by building a Boeing 737 flight simulator in his son's room.<br />
<br />
Laurent Aigon has spent five years lovingly replicating the inside of a cockpit in the bedroom - forcing his son to sleep on a bed crammed into the corner of the room.<br />
The 40-year-old, from Lacanau in south-western France, has meticulously collected the pieces to build the simulator, which makes the user feel like they are thousands of feet up in the air, the Metro reported.<br />
Mr Aigon is a waiter who has always aspired to be a pilot - and now he has made his dream come true with the simulator.<br />
Such is the quality of his work that he was invited to lecture at the Institute of Aircraft Maintenance at Bordeaux-Merignac, which also used his simulator to train its students, Gizmodo reported. <br />
<br />
He has installed monitors to simulate flights to Brazil and Australia - although it is unclear whether he has managed to convince anyone to act as an air hostess to bring him refreshments on his long-haul 'journeys'.<br />
He is estimated to have spent thousands of euros on his passion, buying expensive parts so he can produce a lifelike version of the inside of the plane.<br />
The father chose a popular model to recreate, as the 737 series is the best-selling jet airliner in the history of aviation.<br />
The 737 has been continuously manufactured by Boeing since 1967, it was reported. <br />
And he has, in his own unique way, contributed to the traffic in the sky as there are, on average, 1,250 Boeing 737s airborne at any given moment, with two departing or landing somewhere every five seconds, it is estimated.<br />

  • - Costa Verde, Costa Rica - <br />
<br />
 Hotel Costa Verde is proud to present its newest lodgings: The fully outfitted, meticulously detailed, two bedroom, Boeing 727 fuselage suite. We have refurbished a vintage 1965 Boeing 727 airframe, which in its prior life shuttled globetrotters on South Africa Air and Avianca Airlines (Colombia). Our phoenix is now ready for its future duty as the most exclusive hotel suite in Costa Rica. We salvaged this airframe, piece by piece, from its San Jose airport resting place. We carefully transported the pieces on five, big-rig trucks to the jungles of Manuel Antonio where they have been resurrected into a unique jumbo hotel suite. Our classic airplane, nestled on the edge of the National Park in our Costa Verde II area, is perched on a 50-foot pedestal. At this height, you will enjoy scenic ocean and jungle views from the hard wood deck built atop the plane's former right wing. The plane's interior is Costa Rican teak paneling from the cockpit to the  tail. Furnishings are hand-carved, teak furniture from Java, Indonesia.  Our 727 home features two air conditioned bedrooms--one with two  queen sized beds and the other with one queen sized bed, each with its  own private bath-a flat screen TV, a kitchenette, dining area foyer; an ocean view terrace; a private entrance up a river rock, spiral staircase; and 360 degrees of surrounding gardens. Enjoy an evening on the terrace while sipping a glass of wine and observing your tree top neighbors: sloths, toucans and monkeys. Our refurbished Boeing 727 home is not the only such dwelling in the world: We were inspired by a Forbes Magazine article about a company offering hurricane-proof living via surplus Boeing 727 airframes! Of course, Photo Shows:  727 Hotel Entrance <br />

  • The race to build a successor to Concorde: Boeing, Gulfstream and Nasa join forces to create a supersonic jet capable of flying from London to Sydney in FOUR HOURS<br />
<br />
Aircraft enthusiasts are waiting with growing anticipation for the unveiling of plans for a supersonic jet that may be able to fly London to Sydney in just four hours.<br />
U.S. builders - helped by the Nasa space agency - will reveal the prototype successors to Concorde at the Farnborough air show next month.<br />
Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Gulfstream are leading the way to build the new supersonic passenger plane which will be targeted at first at the business jet market.<br />
All three companies believe they are close to reduce the sonic boom to a sound described by a Gulfstream engineer last week as 'closer to a puff or plop'.<br />
He said: 'The fact that the big boys are all close confirms industry rumours that a new generation of supersonic planes is now, finally, within reach.<br />
Lighter composite materials, more advanced engines and smaller fuselages could enable new jets to travel about twice as fast as Concorde, which flew at up to 1358mph, according to the Sunday Times.<br />
Passengers will travel at speeds of more than 2,485mph, allowing them to cruise in luxury from London to Sydney, just over 12,000 miles away.<br />
Currently, the fastest subsonic executive jet, Gulfstream's new G650, can fly 7,000 miles at a  646mph and has a top speed of just 704mph.<br />
<br />
But its successor , codenamed X-54, will 'prove that an aircraft can be shaped for low sonic boom', reports Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine.<br />
It will be 'sketched out' at Farnborough along with other supersonic prototypes, say show executives.<br />
Last January, NASA released images of a test plane in a wind tunnel which suggested the sonic boom could be virtually silenced using super-thin wings and hidden engines.<br />

  • First Thai passenger plane lands at Iran airport<br />
<br />
Thai Airways landed its first passenger flight on the Imam Khomeini International Airport yesterday (October 1), marking the 56th foreign airliner using Tehran’s newly established airport, Irna reported.<br />
<br />
The airlines, which flew a Boeing 777-200 from Bangkok to Tehran, will have four flights weekly on the route, regional director of Thai Airways International Prin Yooprasert was quoted as saying in the Irna report.<br />
<br />
“We hope to operate the flights on a daily basis,” he said.<br />
<br />
Yooprasert announced that Thai Airways International owns 94 planes, which flies to 80 international destinations.<br />
<br />
Iran’s Mahan Airline Company currently operates six flights each week via the same route, according to the report.<br />

  • Plane catches fire while at Gate in Kazakhstan Airport<br />
<br />
Imagine you wait to board your plane in an airport and your plane has arrived to the gate, so the boarding is about to begin. Then in an instant the Boeing 737 catches on huge fire with flames bursting thruogh its top. This is what happened a few days ago in Kazakhstan airport. Happily, nobody was injured except one Latvian engineer who worked for a local air company. They say that the reasons why this happened are still unclear. Some say the oxygen balloon  exploded (the one that feeds the emergency masks).<br />

  • The luggage that's impossible for airlines to lose - because it's got a built-in GPS tracker<br />
<br />
Losing your luggage on a flight could soon be a thing of the past after an airline developed a bag that is impossible to lose.<br />
<br />
Aircraft maker Airbus has helped develop technology which could eliminate the problem of missing baggage, a problem that costs the aviation industry nearly £2 billion a year.<br />
<br />
According to the latest industry figures, about four pieces of luggage will be lost on the average Boeing 747 flight.<br />
<br />
 Passengers are most likely to lose a bag when changing flights - especially if the connection time is short.<br />
<br />
One of the major reasons for luggage being lost is when the paper tags carrying the bar code are ripped off as cases are shunted along conveyor belts to the aircraft.<br />
<br />
It was this which led to the loss of thousands of bags by British Airways following the chaotic opening of Heathrow’s Terminal 5 in March 2008.<br />
<br />
 The prototype luggage technology, known as Bag2Go, involves embedding a satellite tracker and bar code display on to the suitcase.<br />
<br />
Using a smartphone, a passenger sends details of their flight to the airline which in turn sends back a bar code which is shown on the display unit of the case.<br />
<br />
Each bar code is unique carrying details of the traveller, flight and destination.<br />
<br />
Once on board a plane, a passenger can use a smartphone app to check that their bag is in the hold and alert flight crew if it's not there.<br />
<br />
Should the bag be loaded on to the wrong aircraft, the combination of satellite technology and the bar code means that it will be easily traced.<br />
<br />
It will enable the case to be re-routed to the correct destination enabling the luggage to be returned to its rightful owner.<br />
<br />
 At the same time, the passenger can keep track of the bag with the help of a mobile phone application.<br />
<br />
The app has a number of functions, including alerting a passenger if somebody tries to tamper with the bag.<br />
<br />
The technology is still being developed by Airbus

  • The future of air travel? Three-storey Sky Whale fits 755 passengers, has virtual reality windows and self-healing wings<br />
<br />
It has three decks, tilting Harrier-style jets and breaks itself up into pieces during a crash landing - and could be the future of air travel.<br />
Called Sky Whale, the concept aeroplane it set to be bigger than an Airbus A380, look like a spacecraft and have 'self-healing' wings that repair themselves.<br />
The aircraft would split passengers into three classes, each with their own deck, in a modern-day version of the Titanic’s strict division of passengers.<br />
<br />
Every passenger would additionally have virtual reality windows to keep themselves entertained on long flights.<br />
<br />
The AWWA Sky Whale was created by Spanish designer Oscar Viñals and is so big it was  described by Dvice as looking 'more like something thought up for the Transformers movie franchise than a legitimate aircraft'.<br />
The tilting engines would make it possible for the Sky Whale to take off on the spot - and, according to the plans, if it crashes the passenger section would separate from the wings to reduce the loss of life.<br />
The craft matches advances in technology with a huge capacity of 755 passengers, making it economically viable for an airline.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Sky Whale would have a wingspan of 88m compared to 80m for an Airbus A380 and 64m for a Boeing 747.<br />
The three classes would be ‘tourist class’, the equivalent of economy, ‘tourist class with sky views’, or business class, and finally ‘first class’, which would also have sky views and ‘all conceivable luxuries’.<br />
It is not clear how passengers would be able to look at the view, though given the size of the craft it is likely to have larger windows than those fitted to the back of current plane seat ones.<br />
Those in economy would not be without, though - their windows would be fitted with virtual reality screens so passengers could see whatever they want.<br />

  • Spruce Creek where everybody Owns An Airplane<br />
<br />
Aside from an occasional Boeing, Spruce Creek’s aircrafts consist of a stunning collection of Cessnas and Pipers, a P-51 Mustang, several L-39 Albatros, an Eclipse 500, a French Fouga Magister and even one Russian MiG-15 fighter jet. In addition to all the airplanes and golf cars, you’ll see Lamborghinis, Corvettes, motorcycles of every description and even a Porsche GT2.<br />
<br />
The people of Spruce Creek live in a tightly knit community. Most of them are professional pilots and they talk in aviation jargon. Others are doctors, lawyers and land speculators, but all of them are, without exception, nuts about aviation. Every Saturday morning, some of them would gather beside the runway, take off in groups of three and fly to one of the local airports for breakfast – a tradition they call the Saturday Morning Gaggle.<br />
<br />
But Spruce Creek isn’t the only residential airpark in the country. The concept first developed after World War II, a time period when the United States had an incredible surplus of both airfields and pilots, created by the war, whose population had ballooned from fewer than 34,000 in 1939 to more than 400,000 by 1946. In order to put countless deactivated military strips across the nation to good use and to accommodate the burgeoning pilot population, the Civil Aeronautics Administration proposed the construction of 6,000 residential airparks throughout the country. While that number was never fulfilled, the initial proposal generated enough momentum to pave the way for decades’ worth of interest and investment in what has become a large and active network of fly-in communities.<br />
<br />
Today, there are more than 600 fly-in communities in the United States, with the heaviest concentration in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Texas and Washington. Spruce Creek is the largest fly-in community. The aviation lifestyle has even spread internationally to Canada, South Africa and Costa Rica<br />

The people of Spruce Creek live in a tightly knit community. Most of them are professional pilots and they talk in aviation jargon. Others are doctors, lawyers and land speculators, but all of them are, without exception, nuts about aviation. Every Saturday morning, some of them would gather beside the runway, take off in groups of three and fly to one of the local airports for breakfast – a tradition they call the Saturday Morning Gaggle.<br />
<br />
But Spruce Creek isn’t the only residential airpark in the country. The concept first developed after World War II, a time period when the United States had an incredible surplus of both airfields and pilots, created by the war, whose population had ballooned from fewer than 34,000 in 1939 to more than 400,000 by 1946. In order to put countless deactivated military strips across the nation to good use and to accommodate the burgeoning pilot population, the Civil Aeronautics Administration proposed the construction of 6,000 residential airparks throughout the country. While that number was never fulfilled, the initial proposal generated enough momentum to pave the way for decades’ worth of interest and investment in what has become a large and active network of fly-in communities.<br />
<br />
Today, there are more than 600 fly-in communities in the United States, with the heaviest concentration in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Texas and Washington. Spruce Creek is the largest fly-in community. The aviation lifestyle has even spread internationally to Canada, South Africa and Costa Rica<br />

  • Plane catches fire while at Gate in Kazakhstan Airport<br />
<br />
Imagine you wait to board your plane in an airport and your plane has arrived to the gate, so the boarding is about to begin. Then in an instant the Boeing 737 catches on huge fire with flames bursting thruogh its top. This is what happened a few days ago in Kazakhstan airport. Happily, nobody was injured except one Latvian engineer who worked for a local air company. They say that the reasons why this happened are still unclear. Some say the oxygen balloon  exploded (the one that feeds the emergency masks).<br />

  • The luggage that's impossible for airlines to lose - because it's got a built-in GPS tracker<br />
<br />
Losing your luggage on a flight could soon be a thing of the past after an airline developed a bag that is impossible to lose.<br />
<br />
Aircraft maker Airbus has helped develop technology which could eliminate the problem of missing baggage, a problem that costs the aviation industry nearly £2 billion a year.<br />
<br />
According to the latest industry figures, about four pieces of luggage will be lost on the average Boeing 747 flight.<br />
<br />
 Passengers are most likely to lose a bag when changing flights - especially if the connection time is short.<br />
<br />
One of the major reasons for luggage being lost is when the paper tags carrying the bar code are ripped off as cases are shunted along conveyor belts to the aircraft.<br />
<br />
It was this which led to the loss of thousands of bags by British Airways following the chaotic opening of Heathrow’s Terminal 5 in March 2008.<br />
<br />
 The prototype luggage technology, known as Bag2Go, involves embedding a satellite tracker and bar code display on to the suitcase.<br />
<br />
Using a smartphone, a passenger sends details of their flight to the airline which in turn sends back a bar code which is shown on the display unit of the case.<br />
<br />
Each bar code is unique carrying details of the traveller, flight and destination.<br />
<br />
Once on board a plane, a passenger can use a smartphone app to check that their bag is in the hold and alert flight crew if it's not there.<br />
<br />
Should the bag be loaded on to the wrong aircraft, the combination of satellite technology and the bar code means that it will be easily traced.<br />
<br />
It will enable the case to be re-routed to the correct destination enabling the luggage to be returned to its rightful owner.<br />
<br />
 At the same time, the passenger can keep track of the bag with the help of a mobile phone application.<br />
<br />
The app has a number of functions, including alerting a passenger if somebody tries to tamper with the bag.<br />
<br />
The technology is still being developed by Airbus

  • The future of air travel? Three-storey Sky Whale fits 755 passengers, has virtual reality windows and self-healing wings<br />
<br />
It has three decks, tilting Harrier-style jets and breaks itself up into pieces during a crash landing - and could be the future of air travel.<br />
Called Sky Whale, the concept aeroplane it set to be bigger than an Airbus A380, look like a spacecraft and have 'self-healing' wings that repair themselves.<br />
The aircraft would split passengers into three classes, each with their own deck, in a modern-day version of the Titanic’s strict division of passengers.<br />
<br />
Every passenger would additionally have virtual reality windows to keep themselves entertained on long flights.<br />
<br />
The AWWA Sky Whale was created by Spanish designer Oscar Viñals and is so big it was  described by Dvice as looking 'more like something thought up for the Transformers movie franchise than a legitimate aircraft'.<br />
The tilting engines would make it possible for the Sky Whale to take off on the spot - and, according to the plans, if it crashes the passenger section would separate from the wings to reduce the loss of life.<br />
The craft matches advances in technology with a huge capacity of 755 passengers, making it economically viable for an airline.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Sky Whale would have a wingspan of 88m compared to 80m for an Airbus A380 and 64m for a Boeing 747.<br />
The three classes would be ‘tourist class’, the equivalent of economy, ‘tourist class with sky views’, or business class, and finally ‘first class’, which would also have sky views and ‘all conceivable luxuries’.<br />
It is not clear how passengers would be able to look at the view, though given the size of the craft it is likely to have larger windows than those fitted to the back of current plane seat ones.<br />
Those in economy would not be without, though - their windows would be fitted with virtual reality screens so passengers could see whatever they want.<br />
