The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a long-range, mid-size wide-body, twin-engine jet airliner developed by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It seats 210 to 290 passengers, depending on the variant. Boeing states that it is the company's most fuel-efficient airliner and the world's first major airliner to use composite materials for most of its construction. The 787 consumes 20% less fuel than the similarly-sized Boeing 767. Some of its distinguishing features include a four-panel windshield, noise-reducing chevrons on its engine nacelles, and a smoother nose contour.

The aircraft's initial designation was 7E7, prior to its renaming in January 2005. The first 787 was unveiled in a roll-out ceremony on July 8, 2007, at Boeing's Everett assembly factory, by which time it had become the fastest-selling wide-body airliner in history with 677 orders. By June 2011, 827 Boeing 787s had been ordered by 59 customers, with ILFC having the largest number on order.

The 787 development and production has involved a large-scale collaboration with numerous suppliers around the globe. Final assembly is at the Boeing Everett Factory in Everett, Washington. Aircraft will also be assembled at a new factory in North Charleston, South Carolina. Both sites will deliver 787s to airline customers. Originally planned to enter service in May 2008, the project has suffered from repeated delays and is now more than three years behind schedule. The airliner's maiden flight took place on December 15, 2009, and completed flight testing in mid-2011. Final Federal Aviation Administration and European Aviation Safety Agency certification was received in late August 2011 and the first model was delivered in late September 2011

The 787-8 is designed to seat 234 passengers in a three-class setup, 240 in two-class domestic configuration, and 296 passengers in a high-density economy arrangement. Seat rows can be arranged in four to six abreast in first or business (e.g., 1–2–1, 2–2–2), with eight or nine abreast in economy (e.g., 3–2–3, 2–4–2, 3–3–3). Typical seat room ranges from 46 to 61 in (120 to 150 cm) pitch in first, 36 to 39 in (91 to 99 cm) in business, and 32 to 34 in (81 to 86 cm) in economy.

Cabin interior width is approximately 18 feet (547 cm) at armrest, 1 inch (2.5 cm) over what was originally planned, and 15 in (38 cm) greater than that of the Airbus A330 and A340, while 5 in (13 cm) less than the A350 and 16 in (41 cm) less than the 777.[181] In an industry where economy seats range from 16.3 in (41 cm) to 20.6 in (52 cm) in width; 787 economy seats are 17.18 in (43.55 cm) and 18.5 in (47 cm) wide in nine- and eight-abreast arrangements, respectively. Most airlines are expected to select the 3–3–3 maximum passenger density configuration. Boeing engineers designed the 787 interior to better accommodate persons with mobility, sensory, and cognitive disabilities. For example, a 56-inch (142 cm) by 57-inch (145 cm) convertible lavatory includes a movable center wall that allows two separate lavatories to become one large, wheelchair-accessible facility.

The Beechcraft 55 / 56 / 58 Baron is a twin-engined four-to-six-seat light touring aircraft with retractable landing gear produced by the US-American manufacturer Beech Aircraft Corporation, today Hawker Beechcraft Corporation.

The PA-32 series began life as the Cherokee Six, a significantly modified six seat development of the PA-28 Cherokee series.


While similar in configuration to the Cherokee, the Cherokee Six differed in a number of major areas. Two of the big differences were implied in its name, a six cylinder O-540 or IO-540 powerplant, and the six seat configuration. While the wing was based on the Cherokee's, the fuselage was substantially larger, with strengthened undercarriage and a larger tail.

Production

Description:
The Cessna 208B Caravan is manufactured by the Cessna Aircraft Company in Wichita, Kansas, USA. Incorporated in 1911, the Cessna Aircraft Company has a legacy of aircraft production spanning almost a century. At the end of 1995 Cessna had produced a total of 178,394 aircraft.

The Caravan was designed at the outset to be simple, rugged and reliable. The first prototype Caravan flew in 1982. Full production commenced in 1985. The principle user of the Caravan is Federal Express, who utilise the aircraft for overnight parcel delivery. In this application the aircraft is operated at night and frequently in poor weather. It's incredible 99.8% dispatch rate is a testament to the success of the design. In 1986, at the request of Federal Express, a stretched version of the Cessna Caravan, the Cessna Grand Caravan was put into production.

For Wilderness Air, the Caravan has proven to be the best passenger carrying bush aircraft in our fleet for sectors of from 20 to 300 km. Though it is still comfortable and is on occasion used on sectors up to 1000km. The aircraft is capable of taking off from nearly all bush airstrips we service. This is made possible by its large wheels, a very efficient wing and powerful engine. Its wide spacious air conditioned cabin, large windows and unrestricted view, made possible by a high wing make the Caravan very popular with all our passengers. The 4-door cargo pod located under the fuselage also gives the aircraft a very generous luggage carrying capacity.

Description: This exceptional home has an elevated view of the Indian

Ocean, whilst being right on the surf's edge and at the mouth of a pristine

river estuary.

The cluster development of "Le Shac" comprises 42 very up-market units

that seldom come on the market and get snapped up due to the ideal location,

exclusivity of the immaculate secure complex and the proximity to

the powdery sands and surf.

The entire complex is kept to the same exacting standards as this unit.

Internal roads of the complex are neatly paved and the perimeter is

secure with remote access gate, walls and electric strands.

A couple of features of the complex include direct beach access and a

communal clubhouse where owners gather for a casual social life.

Stroll through the photo spread below to appreciate the truly breathtaking

views of a long stretch of unspoilt sands while being a mere 2km from the

business hub of the South Coast, the Shelly Centre and the new South Coast Mall.

As can be seen in the photo gallery this unit is a duplex with the entire living

quarters on the upper level, with the pool on the elevated landscaped rear

section.

The lower level of the unit comprises entrance hall, double garage, workshop

and single garage. These garages have direct access into the unit.

Another feature of the double garages are the remote doors with extra height

clearance. This is ideal for a caravan or microbus.

On the way up to the living level the entrance hall plays host to a storage area,

which would be ideal as a wine cellar.

The open plan living rooms of lounge, dining room, bar and well appointed kitchen

all lead out on the ocean side of the unit to a deep all weather covered balcony.

The sea views from this vantage point are spectacular.

In addition, the living rooms have the same large sliding glass doors that lead out onto

the private pool and enclosed garden on the west side.

An absolute bonus is the large sun room alongside the pool. This sun room is spacious

enough to hold a decent sized party, or be set up as a games and rumpus room.

Sleeping quarters comprise 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms, the main bathroom

being en suite.

The master bedroom enjoys the same sea views as the living rooms, and has sliding

door access onto the deep all weather covered patio.

Being a freehold unit this property comes without the usual restrictions placed on

owners by body corporate management. A minimal levy of R280.00 per month is

payable for the general upkeep of the complex.

Aimed at the discerning buyer this up-market complex is situated in the fastest

growing suburb on the South Coast, whilst still offering a short stroll onto the

powdery sands on a long sweep of beach.

Absolutely irresistible !!!!!
