This is something like cruise, but instead this actually flys. It looks really pretty and futuristic on the outside.
I just wonder if it is safe if the copter is always airborne and doesn’t have frequent maintenance.
The World’s first hotel on a helicopter and the largest helicopter ever made, is actually, not made from scratch. It’s a re-designed and modified Soviet-made Mil V-12.
Here’s the specifications:
* Dimensions Length: 42 m (137 ft)
* Height: 14m (45 ft)
* Maximum Takeoff Weight: 105850 kg (232,870 lb)
* Maximum speed: 255 km/h (137 kt) (158 miles/h)
* Cruising speed: 237 km/h (127 kt) (147 miles/h)
* Original Mi Range: 515 km (320 mi)
* Our augmented Mi Range – 1,030 km (640 mi)
Pretty powerful eh?
That’s not all. A Hotel is very much judged on it’s service and room condition. So let’s see what can they offer. (view the pictures here)
The Hotelicopter features 18 luxuriously-appointed rooms for adrenaline junkies seeking a truly unique and memorable travel experience.
Each soundproofed room is equipped with a queen-sized bed, fine linens, a mini-bar, coffee machine, wireless internet access, and all the luxurious appointments you’d expect from a flying five star hotel. Room service is available one hour after liftoff and prior to landing.
The Hotelicopter’s excellent crew and staff make your security and safety their number one priority. Our vehicle meets or exceeds all safety, operating, and maintenance requirements outlined by the FAA in the CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) relating to transport category rotorcraft.
So, if ya interested, you can..
The Hotelicopter is due to fly its maiden journey this summer. Interested in learning more? Become our fan on facebook or follow us on twitter to receive our complete welcome kit and to be notified when our reservation system becomes open to the public.
The frequent landings will be a bitch though.
