BOEING 787-9 Dreamliner

We all know that the Boeing is the world’s largest aerospace company and leading manufacturer of commercial jetliners. Only a few weeks ago Boeing unveiled its latest, super-advanced plane, the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. It is the second member of the super-efficient 787 family. First Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner was delivered to Air New Zealand.

The plane’s fuselage is 20 feet longer than Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. It has a range of 8,000-8,500 nautical miles (the 787-8 has a range of 7,650-8,200) and seats 280 passengers, nearly 40 more than its predecessor. This is the first of ten 787-9 Dreamliners to join Air New Zealand’s fleet. The aircraft will operate the Auckland-Perth route from 15 October 2014 and to Shanghai and Tokyo later this year.

The new Dreamliner 787-9 is really beefing up its sleep space. The business cabin will have 18 lie-flat seats. Well they think about everything because scoops on the side of the plane constantly bring in fresh air, which goes through an advanced filtration system that makes the air cleaner and more humid. This really improves the comfort of the flight. The 787-9 leverages the visionary design of the 787-8, offering passengers features such as large windows, large stow bins, modern LED lighting, higher humidity, a lower cabin altitude and a smoother ride.

The larger 787-9 now accounts for 40% of Boeing’s orders for the Dreamliner, with 413 reserved by airlines. The company launched a third, even-larger model, called the 787-10, last summer with seating for around 320 passengers. It is due in 2018.

JAQUET DROZ LADY 8 WATCH

Ancient societies believed that each numerological figure possessed a distinctive meaning. N have played significant roles throughout cultures in both scientific and spiritual realms. For the Swiss watchmaker Jaquet Droz, the number eight has been the brand’s lucky number since 1784. The symbol of infinity and completeness, the figure 8, has always been present on the dial.

This story about “lucky number 8“ is perfectly blended into fascinating Lady 8. Watch features the bezel intertwined with a gem-set ribbon and the pearl or a round precious stone placed at the summit of the case, at 12 o’clock.

The pearl at 12 o’clock is white; the cabochon is made of white mother-of-pearl, as the dome-shape dial.

The grey strap is equipped with a 18-carat white gold folding clasp set with 47 diamonds (0.49 ct) and the bezel is set with 128 diamonds (1.28 carat) and the ring with 148 diamonds (0.38 carat). Available in steel, 18k white gold, or 18k red gold, the case is 35mm wide at its widest point.

In order to give the Lady 8 just a little bit more elegance, the lugs have given way to a satin or alligator strap attached to the case, which comes in gem-set white or red gold or stainless steel.

This lucky watch will make any woman even more beautiful.

$4.5 MILLION FERRARI F12 TRS REVEALED IN SICILY

And just when I thought that Ferrari could not do anything more spectacular than what now has to offer, the Italian car maker unveiled a one-off open-top F12 Berlinetta called TRS which has been created by the company’s Special Projects division. TRS is a one-off model that will leave you absolutely speechless. It made its debut during the annual Ferrari Cavalcade driving tour, which this year took place in Sicily.

Based on the company’s equally wonderful F12 Berlinetta and built exactly to a client’s specifications, this amazing car cost its lucky owner $4.5 million , making it one of the most expensive production cars to roll off the assembly line this year. Designed and created by Flavio Manzoni and the Ferrari Style Centre, the look of the F12 TRS has been inspired by the 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa.

Power comes from a 6.3-liter V-12 engine tuned to deliver 729 horsepower and 508 pound-feet of torque. This ensures 0-62 mph acceleration in just 3.1 seconds and a top speed in excess of 211 mph. The open cockpit is trimmed in Alcantara, fine leather and black matte carbon fibre. Generally, inside was adopted a minimalist look. Aerobridge that normally sits above the rear fender on the F12 Berlinetta is now gone, allowing for the open-top design of the car. The engine’s signature red cylinder heads are visible through a window in the hood.

If you are one of Ferrari’s most loyal customers and you have enough money then Ferrari can make you unique extraordinary model. This lucky guy already has his dream car. I would definitely like to have something like this in my garage.

IXION WINDOWLESS JET CONCEPT

Winner in the 2014 International Yacht & Aviation Awards in the Exterior design category

Once again, a great team and excellent design push the boundaries. The Technicon Design France team received an award for their IXION windowless jet concept. They came up with ideas on how to make your flight even more exciting.

“We quickly settled on the controversial yet interesting idea of removing the windows from the cabin and using existing or very near future technology to display the exterior environment to the inside surfaces of the cabin via external cameras,” says Gareth Davies, Design Director at Technicon’s French Studio. “Removing the windows allows for weight reduction, simplifies construction and opens up an enormous spectrum of possibilities for interior design. We wanted to couple this with amorphous solar panels which power the low voltage systems on board and thus offer a unique visual dynamic for the exterior.”

To demonstrate Technicon’s creative design, digital modelling and visualisation capabilities in the transportation design sector, the Windowless Jet proposal was first conceived for the National Business Aviation Association show.
