Boeing 737 Cowling Chair
The Boeing 737 Cowling Chair from Plane Industries allows flying
enthusiasts the opportunity to enjoy a unique piece of aviation within
their own homes. Built using a refurbished 737 engine cowling, the
design pairs the polished metal frame of the former powerplant with a
dark leather interior for a striking contrast and chic aesthetic. The large
cowling stands in the same orientation as
it did in its former life on the ubiquitous
airliner, making for a bowl-like
chair that spans a whopping
6.5 feet in height, depth and
width. The seat rotates atop
a spun aluminum base.
The chair is one
of several furniture
pieces crafted by Plane
Industries in Bath, U.K.
Some of the com-
pany’s other offerings
include clocks, tables
and cabinets, all made
from former airplane scraps.- planeindustries.com
Gear Snake Cord
The Gear Snake from Ultimate Survival
Technologies is a nice alternative to traditional
rope for tie downs or other gear connection
needs. The durable cord is built out of bend-
able steel wire and a malleable plastic coating
that glows in the dark. The cord can be set
in place with a simple twisting of the ends,
meaning knots and hooks are not necessary.
The 16.5-foot cord can be cut to length as
needed and costs $4.99. • ustbrands.comHydro-Bowl for Dogs
Aviators who bring their four-legged friends
along for the ride know the importance of
keeping their pets hydrated during travel. This
Hydro-Bowl for Dogs aims to eliminate the
clutter frequently associated with a traditional
water bowl and replace it with a collapsible
product that can be easily stowed away. The
hydro bowl is made of waterproof canvas and
dries quickly once water has been cleared out
of it. It folds into a triangle and snaps shut,
making for easy transport in a backpack or
purse. It holds a total of five cups of water and
costs $9.50. • aircraftspruce.com
