HelioTrans

The second great financial crisis of the 2070s, which ruined many American multinationals, allowed the former German company to take control over Lockheed Martin, a bankrupt company that owned the planet’s largest stocks of helium.

Their ultra-modern airship, the largest atmospheric aircraft in history to date, is more than 100m longer than the mythical Hindenburg. It is no coincidence that the maiden flight took place on the day of the 150th anniversary of the tragic accident of its predecessor, precisely at the Lakehurst naval air station in New Jersey.

The brand new Leviathan lifted an entire three-floor section of prefabricated skyscraper and transported it to Atlanta, depositing it with absolute precision onto the new building under construction, at an altitude of 600m and under windspeeds of more than 40 kmh.

Dr. Kaplan, who was invited on board during the event, said she was excited about the nets: “So, yes. Now that’s sustainable engineering. At all conceivable meanings of the expression. My sincere congratulations to its creators.”

Today the HelioTrans are used extensively for high-rise construction and luxury tourist trips, transporting large passenger cabins with their 3 crane arms.
