Triad Berlin produced two opening events – the first one for 800 VIPs, the second one for some 10,000 guests – in such a way that they conveyed, for the first time, a feeling for the gigantic dimensions of the planned airship. To this end, in a daring air performance tightrope performers unfurled 60 banners from the hangar’s ceiling along the roof’s width and depth of 360 and 210 metres, respectively, and a height of 107 metres. The banners added up to forming the contours of the CargoLifter. Room installation bodies made up of containers represented the planned freight units, created projection surfaces for visual effects and served as bars and buffets for the guests.
