He chose this model because the aircraft was one of the few acrobatic versions and could fly upside down. The fan is made of fiberglass with blades of carbon fiber. It has a blade span of 55 inches and a standard three-speed motor with a remote control. info@raffaeleiannello.com

Exhale Fans: The Exhale™ blade-less ceiling fan uses the science of laminar flow to create 360º air circulation. The fan’s 34-inch diameter, high-efficiency DC motor generates CFM (cubic feet per minute) of 3,186 or 91 CFM/watt. The “cyclonic” air flow is caused by the spinning discs inside the housing and reportedly provides a comfortable, quiet atmosphere rather than directing air flow straight down. It is offered in Cool White (shown), Ivory, Gray, Charcoal, Pink, Lavender, Red, and Light Blue. www.exhalefans.com
