#CARGOLIFTER ZEPPELIN SKIN#

1 It is housed in a former airship hangar (known as the Aerium), the biggest free-standing hall in the world. Probably the craziest story of adaptive reuse, ever.Īnother view of the structure, and how it dwarfs everything from the outside. Tropical Islands Resort is a tropical water park located in the former Brand-Briesen Airfield in Halbe, a municipality in the district of Dahme-Spreewald in Brandenburg, Germany, 50 kilometres (31 mi) from the southern boundary of Berlin. In May 2002, the CL 160 development was halted due to financial problems and the status of the programme is uncertain.

Hangar's skin was able to maintain the required high-humidity and warm temperature environment even in Winter. The CargoLifter CL 160 is a semi-rigid airship under development by CargoLifter AG, a German company that plans to build airships capable of carrying enormous loads for the bulk air freight market. But their 5,500,000+ m 3 hangar remained.to find a new life as a tropical resort! No, seriously, it was fully re-purposed by a Malaysian company to create a full-scale self-contained tropical 'island'. The much smaller blimps currently in operation consist of a lighter aerodynamically shaped envelope. It didn't quite work for them, and in 2002 they went bankrupt. It would have taken three Zeppelins the size of the CargoLifter to carry the same payload. The building was built to maintain constant temperature and atmosphere, and included more than 150km of underfloor heating. Airship 3,206 items Blimps And Only Blimps 1,312 items Blimp Operations 359 items. KG, it was constructed by Hochtief in late 90s using more than 14,500 t of steel, 60,000m 2 of skin cladding including 11,000m 2 of glazing. Designed by Siemens subsidiary SIAT GmbH & Co. CL 160 belongs to semi-rigid airships, also known as keeled airships. In the late 1990s, the CargoLifter was to become the largest airship ever. The target of CargoLifter is CL 160 which will be able to carry loads with a volume of 3200 cubic meters (50m x 8m x 8m) and weighing up to 160 tons, over a maximum distance of 10000 kilometers. First designed as a construction hangar for a now defunct company CargoLifter AG and built for the equivalent of $110 million to build commercial lighter-than-air airships.in fact airships so large, they dwarf any other serious concept to date. To date, very few airship plans have managed to mature past the idea stage. This humongous structure is a true marvel of engineering, but its history is also interesting from an architectural standpoint.
