| + | Airlight is among specialized in lightweight and large span structures: Tensairity. | ||
| + | What is the difference between Tensairity and existing pneumatic structures? | ||
| + | The innovative Tensairity-concept and the fact that air pressure is totally independent of the span and slenderness of the constituting elements. In other words: Tensairity allows the construction of very light roof structures with extremely long span. The load bearing capacity of Tensairity is so high that with a pressure of 200 mbar it is already possible to build temporary bridges even suitable for heavy transports. Compared with traditional airbeams, Tensairity needs just 1% of air pressure. With such low pressure, air losses are easily compensated. | ||
| + | Many other fields of application are possible: floating structures, sport equipment, airships and even aerospace applications.\\ | ||
