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...

> 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 think that's the general idea. The thing is actually patented as a "wind resistant" structure. I believe the rotation is dampened so it doesn't spin wildly about <g>.
