Virgin Galactic Complete Its First Orbital Test
Virgin Galactic White Knight II is a very special passenger ship, as they say it is the world’s largest aircraft built with carbon fiber. So strange airship was built at the request of tycoon Richard Branson, owner of the multinational Virgin, who use it for business flights in zero gravity. Virgin, which it sells a disc that takes you into space, is preparing to offer these expensive tickets to billionaires so they can experience zero gravity for a low cost nothing.
The White Knight II has just completed one of the first tests on the Mojave Desert, a place where there is many of the first tests of the aviation industry. It is unknown at the moment, when will the first flight with passengers.
Apparently, during testing, the aircraft suffered a blow on the tail and had problems with the control system. According to Virgin are situations in a project that has so few references like this. Backers of Virgin Galactic did not hesitate to describe the experience as very positive.
With evidence like this are increasingly approaching the Virgin Galactic space flight. The target is below the flight orbit of the earth in a short time, but overcome it and go out into space is a medium-term objective.
For now, each trip on the White Knight can go for about 180,000 euros and the list of tourists who are expecting their ticket to space is very glamorous. Among those known to us are two of the profession that supposedly suffers with Internet downloads, the former guitarist of Red Hot Chilli Peppers Dave Navarro and the musician Moby. Then there is the astrophysicist Stephen Hawking or the controversial Paris Hilton who have already paid your deposit to reserve your trip to the stars.

Oasis able to accommodate 6,300 passengers. 2000 more than the largest passenger ship at the present time. That is why this ship called “Floating City”.
The boat has 26 floors and a swimming pool that filled with 500 tons of water. With such a large size, this ship’s swimming poolwould be the biggest swimming pool in the sea in the world.
This ship is also equipped with a complete outdoor garden with natural vegetation that planted in 400 tons native soil. This natural park be can be presented in the ship because of its unique design. If the ship’s hull that usually built as one piece, then Oasis is designed with a hull that separated into two with soccer fields size garden in the middle.
This ship required three 200 feet rotors to move it with a pull system (not a push system as in the ship usually). This system is producing 30,000 horse power for Oasis and more efficient because it is reduce obstacles in the water. The three rotor can rotate 360 degrees so that it can also function as a rudder.
Oasis of The Sea Royal Caribbean made by engineers with a cost of U.S. $ 1.2 billion. The developing process involves 2,800 employees.
