A concept for future aircraft

Shabtai Hirshberg is an innovator who has done a great work in making up a design and subsequently writing a thesis over future commercial aircraft. He has intelligently considered the design, comfort, fuel saving and greener environment for the future aircraft concept.
According to current predictions we will be having a 100% increase in flights by the end of 2030. Airlines are also well aware of the rising prices of fuel, and according to an estimate most of them will cut back the luxuries and increase passenger capacities since the business is becoming less profitable.
The new designed Shabtai Hirshberg commercial plane fits perfect in these circumstances since it reduces the fuel cost by 30%. This newly designed aircraft can also be landed on water as well as land. The streamlined shaped body and great efficiency of features makes it a brilliant choice for future. The designer has ambitiously worked with aeronautical engineers to come up with optimized use of technology, material, propulsion and other features
Take a look at the design of this concept below.

Prepare for your next interview!

College grads across America are gearing up to enter the job market, and the competition is fierce. 
We came across these excellent graphs by Liz Fosslien, an associate analyst with Leo Burnett, which offer some honest (and humorous) advice for any job seeker. 
Liz gave us permission to publish the charts from her blog, Fosslien.com, and told us that: 
"I use my blog to post various data visualizations I put together in my free time. I make all the charts and write the commentary myself. I used to be in consulting, now in advertising (so my career path sort of inspired the intersection of data and 'art').

"This post in particular was the result of a friend's sibling (recent grad) asking me for interview tips. They weren't sure what industry they were targeting yet, so this was the best summation of general advice and lessons I've learned from my own experiences."

How much caffeine is in your drink?

I believe that a big part of how you feel after consuming something is psychological. If someone gives us a mysterious drink and says it's loaded with caffeine, we'll probably agree with them and tell them we feel it, even if it's decaf. Some people feel Red Bull keeps them awake better than coffee, some people have told me they drink tea and go straight to sleep (believing it doesn't have much caffeine). I wonder if that would change if you knew exactly how much caffeine is in your beverage.


Being a critical thinker, I have to question what they mean by "a cup". I'd probably use it in relative terms, for example "100 ml of coca cola has twice as much caffeine as 100 ml of green tea."

New Yacht by Mercedes Benz

Mercedes-Benz cars are luxurious and well-respected, and perhaps that’s why U.K. boat builder Silver Arrows Marine turned to Benz designers for a helping hand in creating a glitzy new yacht.
Dubbed the Silver Arrow of the seas, the yacht measures about 46 feet long and represents Mercedes’ vision, as designers used their expertise in automotive design to create the luxurious watercraft. “Giving shape to a boat was an exciting challenge for automotive designers like we are,” said Gorden Wagener, Head of Design Mercedes-Benz Cars, at the 2012 Monaco Yacht Show. In addition to creating the shape, designers also conceptualized the boat’s layout, interior appointments, and color combinations. Silver Arrows Marine, on the other hand, is responsible for the boat’s technical equipment and construction.
This isn’t the first time a boat company has knocked on Mercedes’ door. AMG designers partnered with boat maker Cigarette Racing on a speedboat on two occasions, first creating a 46-foot long boat inspired by the SLS AMG gullwing, and another model inspired by the C63 AMG Black Series that stretched a full 50 feet. The German automaker also helped design the Eurocopter EC145.
The Silver Arrow of the sea is scheduled to hit the market in 2013.
