The Hotelicopter (Flying Hotel)

Since 2004, the company behind the Hotelicopter has been working to modify a Soviet-made Mil V-12 into two world firsts: the "world's biggest helicopter" and the "world's first flying hotel."

This gigantic flying Titanic machine features everything you would 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.

You'd think they'd realize that its cheaper to use an air balloon?

Is this what Bush was talking about when he said "Where wings take dream"?

There aren't as many decapitations on a cruise ship's sundeck.

Yeah, you go to the website, and you show me ONE actual photo of the thing. EVERY video clip and 'photo' they say is of the thing is a render... and a crap one at that.

It's all fake.

You've got to look at the date sometimes when these things come out.

Funny (and a little sad) that so few noticed that a helecopter can't stay in the air for hours on end without refueling, and the air time woud be shortened further by the tens of thousands of pounds of "hotel" equipment. The true maximum unladen (without hotel rooms) range of the hotelicopter would be only 310 miles, or about 1 hour 10 min, barely enough time to join the mile high club!

I'd love to see the size of the balloon used in the hot air balloon version, though. Hindenburg.

So, let me try and grasp the business model.

You get off a plane, after a long flight, but you can't quite fall asleep on solid ground, so you check into a hotel that takes you back into the air for a relaxing 1000 ft. high sleep?

I shudder to think that somewhere there's an economist trying to figure out the demand for that sort of service.

haha - losers. I'd like to see a helicopter that was sound-dampened enough to a comfortable sleep.
