In March of 2001, the "Mega-Float Airport Investigation Committee" put
together a detailed evaluation of the verification tests on the 1000m Mega-Float
airport and the 4000m-class test design, and announced in their final report
that a Mega-Float airport with a scale of up to 4000m is practically feasible.
The developed technology is now undertaken by Floating Structures
(Mega-Float) Technology Department in Shipbuilding Research Centre
of Japan (SRC). |
