AEROLIFT attraction is a spherical aerostat with a basket
which is able to carry up to 18 people. The whole construction is held
by means of strong steel cable from the ground. Vertical movements of the
attraction (up and down) are carried out by veering and hauling the cable
by the use of an electric winch. The speed of the winch drum is changed
smoothly to avoid dynamical overloading in the passenger basket during
speeding up and braking. To make embarkation and disembarkation of passengers
more convenient, a landing platform is provided. It has a system of blocks
which pass the effort in the ground cable through the hole in the centre
of the platform to the winch drum. The envelope has a spherical form and
is made of strong gas-bearing material by means of welding. It allows using
the envelope for 4 to 6 years. The envelope is filled with helium, a safe
kind of gas. To provide the aerostat with secured mooring the special system
was designed. It contains low-wind mooring that can be used at the wind
of up to 15 m/sec (8 ropes and winches) and storm mooring system for up
to 30 m/sec wind (24 long ropes and anchors, pneumatic support).
In order to guarantee safety of the passengers, the attraction is supplied
with a signaling system of pressure control in the envelope, the system
of mobile gas replenishment, gas and air valves. Being a high-altitude
object, the attraction is equipped with navigation lights, which are turned
on at night time. The platform is supplied with a system that can stop
the winch drum automatically. In case of premeditated damage done to the
cable, free flight is possible as there is gas releasing system and emergency
ballast.
The AEROLIFT has been certified under international aviation rules
FAR-31. That fact guarantees high quality and safety level. The type certification
is issued by IAC (Interstate Aviation Committee).
The similar attractions are employed in England, France, USA, Brazil,
Sweden and others, being popular there. In average during a summer season
each aeronautical attraction is attended by 30 to 40 thousand people. Tickets
cost $10 to $20. Usually one or two successful seasons pay back all the
expenses connecting to purchase and operation of the attraction. The AEROLIFT
is made in Russia from domestic and imported materials and parts of high
quality. The price of the Russian-made attraction is 30-40% lower than
that of foreign analogues.
Manufacturing time is 6 months. We do assembly on site and training. We offer various flexible investment participation taking maintenance
on our party. For further information please contact Augur Aeronautical
Centre.
