Runways

Air travel is a subject that has and always will fascinate us as a species because it allows us to visit places that are so far from our own reality. While our focus is mostly on the Read moretransportation vehicles themselves, the airplanes, we should not neglect another component that allows us to see the world. This is why Photowall has created a category of runways wall murals to help us gain appreciation for what enables us to takeoff and land as well. These technical, functional and even educational images will enhance any wall decoration, encouraging dreams of jet-setting around the globe and giving you a sense of adventure. Whether in vibrant and full colours or vintage-tinged hues, each runways wall mural depicts these structures throughout the years, from the early passenger aircraft to the massive planes of today. Your residential, recreational or even corporate space would massively benefit from having runways wall murals that let you dream of your next journey, or look back on a fond travel memory. Just like the real things themselves, runways wall murals give us a stable surface, where the experience of traveling via airplane can be relived and enjoyed. As per usual, your selected items can be adjusted to complement your existing interior design, colour schemes and any other decorative elements that come into play.

Defining the subject

As you might have already guessed, and let us admit it to be quite obvious, a runway is the specific area at the airport where aircrafts takeoff and land. Like the items in runways wall murals, these spaces are usually made from concrete or asphalt. It can also depend on the airport because smaller ones can sometimes host nothing more than a strip of dirt, grass or even sand. This is for smaller airplanes though, which you will not find in runways wall murals. Did you know that there are actually three types of runways? The one that you picture right away is the so-called precision instrument runway which you have seen at any medium or large airport. These are the kinds of runways that provide both vertical and horizontal guidance for the aircrafts as well as the ground crew. These are also what you will see in runways wall murals. The second type are non-precision instrument runways which are found at smaller, or in some instances mid-sized airports where there is not too much air traffic. Lastly, there are the visual runways which we alluded to earlier. They may or may not have markings since the pilot only needs to see the runway to land the airplane.

The history in runways wall murals

You might have learned or read that the famous Wright brothers had their initial takeoff in the state of North Carolina, but did you know that their first airport was in Ohio? This is just one of the tidbits of knowledge you can share with family, friends and colleagues when discussing your runways wall murals. Obviously, that structure in Ohio looked nothing like the massive, paved complexes we see in airports today. As a matter of fact, the Wright brothers first airport was nothing more than a cow pasture. Another surprising thing about the history of runways is that it took a long time for the first paved airplane runway. It was the legendary Henry Ford who built his own personal airport in Michigan in 1924, the first to use concrete for the runway. With runways wall murals, you essentially have a piece of history albeit in modern form.

Some samples

"Sunset Inflight" is arguably the best runways wall mural to display what we were talking about earlier. This is the kind of scenery that immediately pops into your head when you talk about runways related to air travel. You will undoubtedly have seen such a similar scenario before when you traveled. Any kind of interior will benefit from having such a great focal point by way of runways wall murals. Another great item is "Vintage Airplane on a Runway, black and white", a gorgeous design that is made even more timeless by its black and white tones. Putting this runways wall mural up in the foyer at home or the meeting room at the office can be a real game changer and power move.
