World's first flying hotel


A soviet Mil V-12 has been modified to make it become the world’s biggest helicopter as well as the world’s first flying. The experience is of course 5 star ranging from private entertainment to gaming and tea gardens! The specifications for this helicopter will tell you how exactly big this chopper is. It is 135 feet long and 45 feet high. It has the ability to lift a maximum load of 105 thousand kilos off the ground and can reach a maximum speed of 255 km/hour (158 miles/hour). Big is an understatement, I should have used mammoth! The inaugural flight is to take place on the 26th of June and the price is not being disclosed. So will the rich Sheikh who ordered an Airbus A380 for personal use change his mind?




Helicopter converted into World’s first flying hotel

I only just heard about this but apparantly the idea was first brought up in 2004, but it seems pretty cool, although I'm not sure how successful it will be.
What do you guys think?

and the running costs of even keeping it in the air would be large.

How is it dangerous? Helicopters are heavily used all the time. I doubt they'd fly it in inclement weather.

I guess the cost to actually keep it in the air would be high. But if you bought one of those already, why wouldn't you be able to pay it?

Obviously they thought up the name first, and then decided to build it.

You trust the weather conditions too much.

Maybe... but it wouldn't be nearly as witty as the current name.
