Motoart, maker of the bomb tables we showed you back in February, has released some fly new aviation art furniture that you can pick up for your home or office. The company’s most recent featured piece is the Sikorsky S-58 Composite Cooling Fan table pictured above, which rests on a Rolls Royce RB-211 Engine Shaft Spine for support. For those unfamiliar with old-school Sikorsky’s, the S-58 was one of the largest helicopters with a piston engine that was built in the 1950’s, used primarily by the Navy for satellite recovery missions. And the RB-211 engine is the “big daddy” of the Rolls Royce engine lineup, built in the 1960’s for wide-body airliners.
Motoart’s 2008 catalog also offers some other cool new airplane furniture, including the DC-9 Desk, the C-119 Coffee Table, the DC-4 Conference Table, and the B-52 Ejection Chair. Check them out in the gallery below. Prices are available upon request from Motoart.
