Future Cargo Aircraft Design blackouts UFO

Claims Unidentified flying object sightings (UFO) has been synonymous with flying saucers. Later, we’ll more often see flying saucers in the sky, but that does not mean aliens or aliens visiting the Earth more frequently. Skylifter company from Australia is developing a tool carrier transportation of heavy cargo is environmentally friendly. The aircraft was named ‘Skylifter’ – the same as the name of the manufacturers – like a hot air balloon and flying saucer-like design.

Design ‘UFO’ will allow the vehicle to overcome strong winds and can still drive the distance to 2,000 kilometers with a speed of 45 knots or 83 kilometers per hour – this is based on experiments performed. Skylifter can transport goods amounted to 150 tons. This vehicle is expected to materialize within three years. Meanwhile, Skylifter made to overcome various obstacles in the transportation of cargo. Moreover, the existence of limited rail and highway. Ordinary cargo aircraft are also very limited – depending on the shape and size. Moreover, the runway is also limited.

The use of large helicopters, Mi-26 or Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane also hindered maximum weight. Mi-26 heavy maximum of 20 tonnes, while Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane can carry cargo weighing 9 tons. Aeronautical design aircraft company, Skylifter is claimed as the perfect solution to transport cargo.

Skylifter not only able to lift heavy goods component, even one building at a time – start building hospitals in rural areas, disaster relief center, to be a luxury cruise aircraft. In addition to wings that resemble a flying saucer, Skylifter also use devices called vanes Voith-Schneider – similar to a paddle wheel.
