Singapore Airlines undertook an inaugural
flight on October 25th of their A380, surpassing the 747 as the
largest commercial aircraft ever built. The first flight was from

You either love plane travel or you hate it but, what cannot be denied is that there’s nothing worse than sitting next to another passenger who spends the entire flight coughing and spluttering germs into the air resulting in you suffering the inevitable streaming cold a couple of days into your holiday – but help is at hand in the form of this handy and somewhat novel travel gadget known as the Plane Clean Air Filter.
The Plane Clean Air Filter works by simply attaching to the aircraft’s air nozzles above your seat which subsequently filters the air courtesy of its integral, FDA certified electrolytically charged filter – the result being what the product site terms as a ‘clean air curtain’ surrounding your head.
Boasting filter effectiveness of up to 99.5% (the key words being ‘up to’) the Plane Clean Air Filter acts to remove bacteria, viruses and allergens from your very own personal air stream which, as can be seen by the aircraft safety card diagram inspired imag

We’ve all seen those fans that use pulsing LEDs to show a message that appears to hover in space and this cute (not a word we use often) Aircraft Alarm Clock with messaging LED propeller works very much along the same lines.
A great present for children with an interest in aircraft or for adults with an aviation bent who refuse to take life too seriously, the battery operated Aircraft Alarm Clock, which even comes with a choice of self adhesive decals, not only displays the time courtesy of LEDs mounted in its working propeller but it will also wake you in the morning by the engine starting up and a ‘Wake Up’ message.
Okay, so it’s not rocket science and it’s hardly cutting edge technology, but as a fun gadget we love it.
The Aircraft Alarm Clock retails for 29800 Korean Won, which is approximately $32 / £15 / €23 excluding shipping.
Personally we’re holding out for a P51 Mustang version.
