Hotelicopter - REVmatch

Upperguy · #1 04-06-2009, 12:47 PM

Based on the Soviet-made Mil V-12, the Hotelicopter is the world’s first and only flying hotel. Featuring all the amenities you’d expect “from a 5-star hotel — from private entertainment systems and room service to extras like spa treatments, yoga classes, gaming and a tea garden.”

The inaugural flight is set to take place on June 26th for an undisclosed price. Obviously, only the affluent need apply.

They realize that they need to come down or refuel mid flight right?

Now I know why I don't make any money. Because I'm sane and have some common sense.

* Maximum speed: 255 km/h (137 kt) (158 miles/h)

* Original Mi Range: 515 km (320 mi)
* Our augmented Mi Range - 1,296 km (700 mi)

Suites are $2000 a night and with that range it looks like a 5 hour flight time, though I would imagine it would be refueled mid-air.

I guess it would be sort of cool to do a sort of "cruise" type thing with this baby.

European tour for a week would be tits.
