AERO~COMBS
AERO~COMBS
Aeronautical inspired titanium pocket combs crafted from aerospace grade titanium.
Offered in 4 different models:
DELTA (Raw titanium or Stealth black finish)
The “Delta” has an angular tapered wing shape similar to the “flying wing” designs popular with visionaries in the 1930’s and beyond. Just about all modern aircraft have a swept wing design including state-of-the-art stealth aircraft such as the B-2 Spirit shown below. Our Delta Aero~Comb is offered in a raw titanium finish as well as a graphite black, "stealth" version. The comb includes a unique geometric hole feature so it can be attached to a lanyard, paracord, etc.
LIGHTENING (Raw titanium or Stealth black finish)
The “Lightening” (not the electrical storm type, the engineering type) comb has five oval cutouts that are reminders of the engineering and design that goes into aircraft of the past and present. Lightening holes are a common technique to reduce weight without compromising strength, a critical aspect of airplane design. Our Lightening Aero~Comb is the lightest of our offering, weighing in at just 1 ounce. Offered in a raw titanium finish aw well as a, “stealth”, graphite black version.
AIRLINER
The shape of the "Airliner" comb is inspired by the travel combs provided by airlines of the past to their passengers. The streamlined profile, compact design, and large handle surface make for a very functional and stylish comb. This comb hearkens back to the the luxury and glamour of the golden age of air travel and its "Jet-Set" passengers.
CLARK-Y
The “Clark-Y” comb has an airfoil profile like the famous design developed by Colonel Virginius E. Clark. The Clark-Y Aero~Comb is a similar shape to a rib of an airplane wing with a rounded leading edge that tapers to a smaller profile at the trailing edge. Along the spine of the comb solid aluminum rivets have been installed as a decorative and functional feature. (Riveted construction of aircraft began in the 1920’s and is a common construction method used in aircraft assembly to this day.) The rivets in the provide grip and an aesthetic that hearkens back to the early days of aviation.
