Emile Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 1. "RE: You be the judge..." 01-22-03, 11:55z  By Jove, It looks like , the question is what is inside? a Bar? I cannot pay that! Regards Emile EBBR Brussels Belgium Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

TD Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 2. "RE: You be the judge..." 01-24-03, 13:05z  Yeah, the guy has tried selling these on eBay. The interior is like one long trailer house, bedrooms, bathroom and the like all linear, up on a big rotating pylon. Would be fun, unless you live in Hurricane Country. I am trying to talk the Techbabe into one as a retirement home in 20 years... "TD - Virtual FAA investigators are on line 2, AGAIN!!!" Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I think the idea would work better with a wide body aircraft like a 747, but I'm sure they'd cost a heck of a lot more. > Would be fun, unless you live in Hurricane Country. Actually, I think (of course depending on how it's constructed) it may deal with hurricanes rather well. The airspeeds of hurricanes are usually well below Va for a 707. Might make a nice office building for an aviation company. However, I'm not sure any airport land use committee would approve such a structure at the airport even though that'd be the logical place to put one of those things.

I believe the rotation is dampened so it doesn't spin wildly about <g>. --Greenie **6 miles SSE KSJC** -= VPC OffLine Reader 2.1 =- Registered to: Mike Greenwood -OLR.PL v1.80- Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
