Materials

Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.

Dimensions

Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.

Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Wichita's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.

Museum-quality cotton paper

Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.

Solid wood framing or glossy metal

Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Beech Factory Airport Runway Diagram Print

Beech Factory Airport has one runway, and the print gives it the whole sheet. Runway 01/19 runs 8,001 feet by 100 feet, a single concrete strip on a field sitting at 1,409 feet of elevation, with the magnetic variation of 4E noted small in the corner the way a chart carries it. Plotted to scale from the published runway data, the layout reads as one long clean line, which is just what a factory airfield looks like from above.

This is a working company field rather than an airline airport. It lies five nautical miles east of downtown Wichita, in Sedgwick County, Kansas, and it is privately owned by Beechcraft, the aircraft maker that has been headquartered in Wichita since Walter Beech founded the company there in 1932 and that has been a Textron Aviation brand since 2014. The airport itself goes back to 1928, when a 148 acre tract bought from the city was set aside for the Knoll Aircraft Company; the Yellow Air Cab Company took over the assets in 1930, and Beechcraft acquired them in 1940. We keep the drawing honest to that plain, purposeful layout, composed for a wall rather than a cockpit, so it holds up close and still reads as a clear graphic mark from across a room.
