Airplane Fan: The Black Sheep Warbird Airplane Fan is better than ever! The Black Sheep Airplane Ceiling Fan represents the nose of the Corsair fighter flown by the Black Sheep Squadron headed by Col. Gregory “Pappy” Boyington. The Black Sheep squadron fought for only eighty-four days. In that time they recorded 203 planes destroyed or damaged, produced eight fighter aces with 97 confirmed air-to-air kills, sank several troop transports and supply ships, and destroyed many installations. For their actions, the original Black Sheep were awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for extraordinary heroism in action. In addition to having a fun, novelty style, it is an exceedingly well-built, quality ceiling fan that comes with a 30-year manufacturer’s warranty.
So what are the parameters of a first-rate ceiling fan? To start, a large motor makes for longer life, greater efficiency, and better air circulation. The Black Sheep Ceiling fan has a powerful (153x8 mm motor size), yet silent, high-efficiency motor that uses less than 1 amp of energy. Even at high speeds this equates to using less energy than 75-watt light bulb. Now add blades that are matched to exact weight and 15° pitch to greatly increase airflow. The 2 propeller-shaped blades on the Black Sheep Ceiling Fan have about a 42" blade span. The pitch is important because with greater airflow movement the ceiling fan will make the air cooler during the summer and help reclaim lost heat from the ceiling during the winter. Other quality key features of this fan are:
- A heavy-duty motor for smooth quiet performance
- Die-cast aluminum rotors for cool running
- Heavy-duty bearings that never need oiling because they are permanently lubricated
- Flushmount installation
- Integrated light kit
- Remote control
- 3-speed reversible switching for summer and winter
- Factory installed gaskets to reduce noise and vibration
