The launch of a new era un space travel


The business jet sized craft is designed to carry four passengers 100 km up into space giving more than three minutes of "zero G" or weightlessness.

The objective of a first flight is in 2011 from Tunisian Spaceport.

After takeoff the plane reaches an altitude of 12 km. This classical aeronautical phase can last for 45 minutes. The pilot shuts down the jets and starts the methane oxygen rocket engine at the rear of the vehicle. The plane then raises along a vertical trajectory. For 90 seconds of flight with a top speed of Mach 3, the plane is rocketed upwards. The maximum acceleration is 3 g. At an altitude of 60 km, the rocket engine is shut down and the plane continues to climb up to a maximum altitude of 100 km.

Dynamic Architecture: Dubai's Rotating Tower

Full Version

 

Dr. David Fisher's revolutionary Dynamic Tower is the world's first building in motion that challenges traditional concepts of architecture and heralds a new era of architecture, becoming the symbol of a new philosophy that will change the look of our cities and our concept of living.

 

Offering infinite design possibilities, each floor of the Dynamic Tower rotates independently at different speeds, in different directions, resulting in a unique and ever-evolving shape, and introducing a fourth dimension to architecture: Time.

 

The Dynamic Tower is the first 100% self-powered Green building with the ability to generate electricity for itself through the use of horizontal wind turbines and solar panels.

 

The first skyscraper to be built entirely from pre-fabricated parts custom-made in a factory, the assembly process of the Dynamic Tower will vastly reduce construction time, offer substantial cost savings, provide an environmental construction site and increase safety for workers on site .

 

Dr. Fisher states, "Modern life is dynamic, so the space we are living in should be dynamic as well, adjustable to our needs that change continuously, to our concept of design and to our moods. Dynamic buildings will follow the rhythms of nature, changing their direction and shape, minute by minute, from sunrise to sunset, season to season, adjusting themselves to the environment. From now on, buildings will be alive , creating a fourth dimension of Time, to become part of New Architecture, and transforming the shape of the skylines of the world."

 

Introducing movement to our the interior and exterior spaces of our daily lives, powered by 100% Green energy and built with efficient pre-fabricated construction methods, the Dynamic Tower will change architecture as we know it, and will launch a new era of Dynamic Living.
