Minka Aire's 60" Aviation Ceiling Fan in Brushed Nickel finish with White blades features a modern design inspired by airplane propellers. The fan uses a simplistic motor housing to keep the focus on the blades. It uses a DC motor, which is highly energy efficient on electricity usage, yet it has the power to allow for plenty of airflow to keep you cool. A remote control is also included that allows for six speeds, forward and reverse, and full control over the light functions to give you total control from anywhere in the room.
