Hardwood Facelilt for Plane

Hardwood is found in many breathtaking applications, often in exotic locations, but few ofthese offer the challenge of decorating the interior of an aircraft with beautiful woods.

The executive aircraft pictured here, a Boeing 727 based in Houston, Tx., meets the challenge with a flourish. Using a floor plan devised by those who fly in it, an aircraft interior design specialist created a luxurious, comfortable airborne apartment for working or relaxing.

Hardwood was a natural for the paneling, cabinets and furniture. Straight grain ash and ash burl were selected to be used with special considerations. Because of the weight restrictions, most of the wood used was veneer, applied to aluminum honeycomb with special adhesives. Burl figures were used on table tops, doors, moulding, cabinet inlays and for inlaid desigrrs on mirrored doors. Solid mouldings were used only on the table edges because of the weight. Straight grain ash veneer was used to panel walls and cabinets as well as in lath applied vertically to mirrored walls.

Hand rubbed oil finishes were applied to all woods. Because the air-

HousewareShow Renamed

The National Housewares Manufacturers Association's semiannual marketing showcase has been renamed the NHMA International Housewares Exposition, effective January, 1983.

The international name acknowledges the importance of worldwide trade inthe housewares field for both American manufacturers and foreign buyers and merchandising executives from overseas, according to Ronald A. Fippinger, managing director. Reportedly, more than twothirds of American housewares manufacturers are presently exporting their products.

Wood Residue Energy

Large energy consuming companies in the lumber and wood products industry last year supplied 73 9o of their total energy requirements using bark, wood residues from manufacturing and forest operations and cther self-generated fuel sources.

craft is exposed to extreme climates, such as a desert landing strip with heat in excess of 130" or an airfield in Anchorage, Ak., with subzero temperaturesi the wood requires constant upkeep to prevent checks and cracks.

Aircraft decorating requires cautions other than weight limitation and care of woods. All latches must be stressed to pull 9 x weight. To meet regulations a drawer with contents weighing 20 pounds must have a 180 pound latch. An aircraft hardware specialist provided the hardware with many touch catches used.

The floor plan includes a bedroom, several powder rooms, a small kitchen, work and conference space, a dining area and lounge accommodations. Even the cockpit has been glamorized with furry seats for the pilot and co-pilot.

LUXURI0US setting is created with straight grain and burl ash veneers in this executive aircraft. Mirrored walls with ash lath and mirrored doors (uppor photo) give an illusion of space and light. Cabinet (lowor photo) opens into a fully stocked wet bar. The Boeing 727 has been turned into a flying apartmenl comolete with bedroom and kitchenette.
