Hotelicopter : The World’s First Flying Hotel

The owner of Hotelicopper has been trying to create the world’s largest helicopter as well as the world’s first flying hotel by modifying a Soviet-made Mil V-12 since 2004. This massive flying machine features everything from room service and private entertainment systems to extras like yoga classes, tea garden, spa treatment, gaming and many others that someone would anticipate from a 5-star hotel. With the length of 42m and 14m of height, this giant aircraft can fly with a maximum weight of 232,870 lb. Maximum speed of this flying hotel is 255 km/h and expected cruising speed is 237 km/h.

  1. Hey, LaptopBags, stop spamming sites with your ridiculous comparison. This isn’t anything LIKE the Hindenburg. And while it certainly looks funny, it could work. Perhaps it would take more open minded people who think, though for it to work.
