Burj Kabeer Kuwait

Burj Mubarak al Kabir Kuwait by Eric Kuhne and Associates

This mammoth structure will rise to exactly 3284 feet, or 1001 meters. The height, in meters, is an allusion to the classic collection of Middle Eastern and South Asian folk tales One Thousand and One Arabian Nights, says London-based architect Eric Kuhne, whose firm designed the tower. To break the kilometer-high mark (which is 3281 feet), the $7 billion-plus Mubarak al Kabir will have three interlocked towers that support the overall structure. These towers, or “blades,” pinwheel about a triangular central shaft that holds elevators and mechanical equipment. Each blade twists 45 degrees as it rises, for strength, and expands slightly at the top. This Kuwaiti landmark will therefore place more mass and usable space near its zenith compared to other towers, says Kuhne, to avoid the structure having too thin and flexible a tip. To dissipate high-altitude, tower-buffeting gales that could blow at 150 miles per hour, the Mubarak al Kabir will see the first architectural deployment of vertical ailerons—the normally horizontal flaps airline passengers see on a plane’s trailing wing edge that help counter wind disturbances. “They will look like continuous ribbons running vertically along the six leading edges of the three blades,” Kuhne says. “As [the ailerons] are constantly moving, and catching the sun while they adjust, sunlight will glint off their surfaces. It will add a gentle rippling reflection to the edges of the blades that will add dynamic sparkle to the tower,” Kuhne says. The Burj Mubarak has a projected completion date of 2016.

3rd Redbull Flugtag in ACTION – Kuwait 2012

All selected  teams flown their planes from a 25 meter long and 6 meters high constructed  runway using only human power. Each team, consists of one pilot and 3  assistants, so that he could lead the aircraft while the assistants help to hover  as far as possible before landing in the water.

While the sky  may be the limit on creativity, there are still a few flight regulations.  First off, all flying machines must be  entirely human-powered (no external energy sources or stored power). Second, no  matter what they say, size does matter – all crafts must be less than 8 meters  wide and must weigh no more than 180 KGs including the pilot. Safety is paramount; therefore all competitors must wear a  life jacket and helmet.

Since the first  Red Bull Flugtag took place in Vienna, Austria, in 1991, more than 100 Flugtags  have been held around the globe, attracting up to 300,000 spectators for a  single event.
