Reduced need for ferry flights would equal savings in terms of fuel usage and fatigue life.ĭeployment planning simplified (no need for tankers, reduced need for SAR cover). Point to point delivery (home base to operating base).Ī large payload and cargo bay would mean no dismantling of the aircraft would be necessary and several aircraft could be carried at once. This seems like a job that a heavy lift airship could do much more efficiently. The RAF has used C-17's to transport Tornado F3's to and from the Falkland Islands to avoid complex long distance ferry flights or the trouble of getting them onto ships. I didn't mean they would only be used for disaster relief, there are plenty of jobs they can do to justify their purchase. You cannot make money if they are in storage or tethered to the ground awaiting that twice-a-year occasion when a disaster arises. To be economically viable, the airships have to be flown on a daily basis. An experience that combines swimming in a tropical environment and observation of the gigantic chapel located more than 100 meters high.- 9th February 2006 at 15:53 - Edited 1st January 1970 at 01:00 In order to build the park, Tanjong had to seal the gate with more than 600 tons of steel, cover the walls with a grape filter and bring in huge amounts of sand. There are over 50,000 plants of 600 different species and a huge pool of 4,400 square meters. The park is divided into different areas inspired by regions such as Thailand, Borneo or Bali. We find there from the beach to restaurants, swimming pools and many tropical plants. In the Airium they remain 26º C and a humidity of 64%.

The enclosure has a capacity of around 6,000 visitors per day and tropical conditions have been created to accommodate the world’s largest indoor rainforest. The hangar is currently occupied by the Tropical Islands Resort, a covered park of more than 500 hectares of the gigantic building. The largest covered rainforest in the world A few numbers which in the early years kept the business at a loss, but gradually improved as other areas opened up around them. Why would a company like this want a military building like this? Attract nearly a million visitors per year. The cost of the operation was around 75 million euros, although the state of Branderburg funded part of the operation. The ‘Game of Thrones’ theme park will open in 2021 and we already know the first details about what it will offerĪfter going bankrupt, Cargolifter sold the building to Tanjong, a Malaysian company dedicated to property management and leisure. This is tallest pillarless building in the world, with a total volume of 5.5 million cubic meters. We have commented on its height, almost like that of the Pyramid of Giza, but it is that everywhere it has a size capable of equipping the Eiffel Tower. The dimensions of this shed are difficult to match. The construction of the vault was completed in November 2000 at an estimated cost of 78 million euros. Cargolifter AG went bankrupt in 2002, leaving the colossal hangar without a ship at its height. The CL160 was to be the star of this imposing hangar, but the 550,000 cubic meter airship was never built. A 106-meter-high vault designed to house a gigantic airship Nail gigantic closed dome, 360 meters long, 220 meters wide and 106 meters high. In 1996, the Cargolifter company decided to build an arch on top. In the 1970s, it was decided to build aircraft shelters in parallel, which allowed the enclosure to reach 2,500 square meters. The Aerium was occupied by Soviet forces after the war, who decided to enlarge a gigantic enclosure which already occupied around 1000 meters at the start. A construction which impresses with the naked eye and whose fate has led it to try to shelter gigantic airships to reinvent itself to accommodate the Tropical Islands Resort, holder of the record for the largest indoor aquatic park. A gigantic building 60 kilometers south of Berlin started in 1939 by the Luftwaffe of the N**i army. This is the Brand-Briesen base, popularly known as the Aerium, the largest hangar in the world. The largest covered rainforest in the world.
