CargoLifter has built the CargoLifter World theme park, allowing the interested public to follow the company's development live. 107 meters high, 210 meters wide and 360 meters long, it is the world's largest free-standing hangar.

At the end of 2000 the production hangar for the CL 160 was completed. At the moment, Brand is the company's pivotal location. Since December 2000 it has been in the MDAX index.Ĭurrently, the CargoLifter company employs 502 people, about 284 of whom are working on airship development at the dock in Briesen-Brand, near Berlin in the state of Brandenburg. Since May 2000, the company's shares have been listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange(WKN 540 261, symbol: CLA). To develop the airship in a market-oriented way, CargoLifter is already today cooperating with various industrial companies within the framework of its Lead-User concept. Already, before the CL 160 is completed, the logistics company's second product line will go on the market: the CL 75 AC transportation balloon, which has a diameter of 61 meters and is able to transport up to 75 tons. This "flying crane" will be able to carry out expensive heavy transports faster, more simply and more cost efficiently - without ever touching the ground and almost entirely independent from the local infrastructure. The drilling companies can set up their equipment while being less constrained by external conditions", said John Angus, CEO of Heavy Lift Canada, Inc.ĬargoLifter AG, based in Berlin, is developing a 260-meter- long and 65-meter-wide airship for the transport of oversized and heavy goods weighing up to 160 metric tons - the CargoLifter CL 160.

The drilling season is approximately 90 days, and the CL 75 AC will considerably extend this season. "This gives the system's users a big advantage, especially in the time of global warming. The CL 75 AC will extend the drilling season considerably: As the load will be suspended in the air and towed by specialized ground vehicles to its destination, the impact on the terrain will be reduced considerably. The ice roads can only be used by heavy transport vehicles for a few months in the year: Loaded heavy transport trucks are only permitted to use the ice roads with an ice- thickness of over 1.2 meters. Heavy Lift Canada will deploy the CL 75 AC primarily in the Mackenzie River Delta in northern Canada.

However, such projects are feasible in other regions of the world with similar infrastructure conditions."ĬargoLifter AG will buy a 20 per cent stake of Heavy Lift Canada, Inc., in order to profit from the operations of the "Lighter-than-Air" systems as well. "CargoLifter has analyzed this market for over a year - and it offers a huge amount of potential. "With its capabilities, the CL 75 AC enables drilling companies to extend the current season for oil and natural gas exploration in remote Northern areas," said Karl Bangert, member of the CargoLifter AG Management Board. Heavy Lift Canada has also secured the option to purchase 25 further CL 75 AC for 10 Million US Dollars each. The sales contract will first of all cover one transportation balloon with a diameter of 61-meters.

Under the agreement, Heavy Lift Canada, Inc., headquartered in Calgary/Alberta will receive this new means of transport based on "Lighter-than-Air" technology in December 2002 and deploy it in full commercial operation for the transport of oilfield equipment over ice roads in Canada's Arctic and Alaska. So in this single image is not only the history of Luftwaffe transport aircraft, but the history of post-war German aircraft industry.Option to buy 25 more CL 75 AC / Heavy Lift Canada will use the logistics company's transportation balloon on Canadian and Alaskan ice roads and Tundra.ĬargoLifter AG sold the first CL 75 AC transportation balloon. These efforts merged with the civilian aircraft manufacturing to constitute Airbus, that makes the A400M. It laid the foundations of the post-war West German industry, which cooperated with Nord Aviation (later Aerospatiale) to build the Transall.
#Cargolifter hangar license
The Noratlas, a French design, war the first aircraft to be produced under license in Germany after WWII in Hamburg (HFB) and Bremen (VFW). These aircraft also mark the resurrection of the aerospace industry in Germany. Tag der Bundeswehr 2016 (Day of the Armed Forces) held at Flugplatz Hohn, marking 60 years of Luftwaffe and 55 years of LTG 63. Amazing flyby - the Three Generation Flight with the only flying Noratlas in the world, a Transall C-160D and an A400M celebrating the three generations of transport aircraft in Luftwaffe service.
