This sensational aircraft - that looks directly out of a science - fabrication movie in which the Nazis won WWII - is the Boeing SkyHook JHL-40 . Aheavy - lift rotorcraftdesigned to rustle 40 tons , it can transport its cargo across 200 miles without refueling in contrary environs like the Arctic . According to Boeing , it will be able to reach where no other kind of transport can go , at a fraction of the cost , with less environmental wallop , and without danger to the crew . Seeing it carrying massive tree trunks makes the JHL-40 look even more impressive :
As you may see , the eight - engine aircraft has four vertical rotor to come up its neutrally buoyant body , plus four directing propellers under each rotor coil to target it . Boeing enjoin that it will be very democratic in the energy , mining , and logging industries . Their pitch to environmentalists is that the JHL-40 has a very reduced carbon footprint , and it does n’t necessitate to disturb remote lands with roads or other destructive transport methods ( that way of life , the aforementioned industriousness will be able to by rights disturb remote lands only by excavation and logging , as it should be . ) [ Boeing ]
