FrancoR 0 #1 December 21, 2004 Anybody have any information on the status of the new windtunnel in Hungary? The webpage doesn't really say much: http://www.windworld.hu/en/index.html FrancoIf it does not cost anything you are the product. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodyflight.Net 0 #2 December 21, 2004 Although I was hoping to hear back from them for a more current report, I belive that someone named Gluck Balázs 'seems' to be the contact person for the project and we first heard about it in 2/2003 so it's been in the works for a while. When/if it opens next year, it will have the 3rd largest (VWT) motor in the world! Thats alotta HP! It certainly LOOKS fabulous I think! Hope it's open for next year when we head to Europe! Love the open design, reminds me of the DynaSoar before it was bought by PowerFlyte. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcin 0 #3 December 25, 2004 It is basically constructed. There were some test runs and as far as I know couple of outstanding issues (e.g. with the local power plant). Although we hoped to fly in it this year, due to the winter it's probably gonna be next year. I just wonder how safe is it going to be for freeflying with its open, no-walls design. I'd be afraid of accidentally getting out of the column of air and land headdown into the cushions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
