PiperJet Altaire’s Artistic Engineering Featured in February’s Airplanista Magazine

PiperJet Altaire: The Artful Marriage of Form and Function compares motivation behind the artistic lines of this sleek personal jet to that of a French sculptor.
 
Feb. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- The relationship between the work of a famous French sculptor and the exquisite lines of the PiperJet Altaire are discussed in the February, 2011 issue of Airplanista Magazine (http://airplanista.com). The feature article makes the case that there are many similarities between the way Auguste Rodin and the Piper Aircraft Design Team imagines their work and while using vastly different tools, creates a work of art.

"As a pilot, I view the PiperJet Altaire as one of most attractive airplanes ever designed," said Airplanista Editor and private pilot Dan Pimentel. "As a journalist, I wanted to find out how the Altaire design team created such a good looking and even sexy jet. When I interviewed Simon Atwill, their Team Leader, it became clear that his team takes aesthetics as serious as an artist. The comparison to a sculptor became clear as I researched the piece."

The piece, entitled “The Artful Marriage of Form and Function” is a main feature of the magazine’s February issue. Also in the issue is a cover story that looks at Swedish photographer Claes Axstal and his Airborne Flash Photography system. A new column entitled “The Money Burger” is presented by Pacific Northwest Chef Stuart Stein and in this first column, Stein reviews the Flight Deck Restaurant at Salem, Oregon’s McNary Field.
