QC: Aabhaas Dasgupta15. 2 parter
In 2006, a British museum decided to sell off a certain specific object from a few
years back to raise funds, and a designer was contacted to make an artwork.
Being 7 metres long and 3 metres high, it proved to be a big challenge to transport
the object. One of the most striking parts of the artwork- appropriately dubbed
ICON- was a curvature, which was designed to resemble something- which was a
result of wherever the object was from.
It was apt as this designer's team was the last team to design such objects.
Image follows.
What is this object? What physical phenomenon was the curvature supposed
to resemble? - 37

19. ID. X
X' was a concept airline propounded by 2 Americans who were fed up with
a certain regulation of the FAA.
The idea was that passengers would be given "certain amenities",
topnotch in-flight entertainment and "real food for real people". It
intended to begin its operations on 11 routes across the US.
To bypass the FAA regulations, the founders thought of using 'membership
fees' where the members were supposed to pay $25 annual fees and must
be strictly 21+, so that flights would be free of 'screaming babies'. It
acquired 3 Douglas DC-9 planes and was set to take off from 16 August
1993. But the airline (failed to secure funding and) never really took off - 47
