THE WILD LOOKING AEROSCRAFT!
165′ H x 244′ W x 647′ L
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?
The AEROSCRAFT is not a BLIMP! It’s a sort of a flying cruise ship that could change the way you think about air travel. When the first one is completed in 2010, it will ferry pampered passengers across continents and oceans as they stroll leisurely about the one-acre cabin or relax in the staterooms.
Unlike its dirigible ancestors, the AEROSCRAFT is not lighter than air. It’s 14 million cubic feet of helium hoist only two-thirds of the craft’s weight. The rigid and surprisingly aerodynamic body, driven by hugh rear-ward propellers, generates enough additional lift to keep the 400-ton payload aloft while cruising.
Even though the AEROSCRAFT dwarfs the largest commercial airliners, it requires less net space on the ground because it doesn’t need a runway. The airship takes off and lands like a helicopter, straight up and down. Six turbo-fan jet engines push the ship up or ease its descent.
The craft will have a range of several thousand miles, and with an estimated top speed of 175 MPH, it will traverse the continental United States nonstop in 18 hours.
During the flight, passengers will view national landmarks just 8,000 feet below, or they can enjoy the amenities aboard, such as luxury staterooms, restaurants, even a casino.
AEROSCRAFT — UP, UP AND AWAY!
