In front of a Mount Kilimanjaro backdrop, a vegan-friendly helicopter, a luxurious private aircraft with a sundeck and garage, and a hotelier's idea to organize discos at 35,000 feet were all shown at the Dubai Airshow last week, amid a slew of other designs aimed at luring VIP tourists back to the skies. Despite the fact that the airline sector has been struck particularly hard by the worldwide epidemic and has been chastised for its participation in the climate problem, demand from wealthy travelers shows no signs of abating. The German airline's sibling firm, Lufthansa Technik, intends to sell a private jet that offers the same experience as a superyacht, transporting owners anywhere at any time while also offering the amenities of a five-star hotel and a base camp for recreational activities.

However, such a service comes at a high cost. In addition to the cost of the aircraft, which is generally priced for upwards of $230 million, Lufthansa Technik believes that fitting the cabin in a 200-foot-long Airbus A330 would cost €100 million ($110 million). "It's a significant investment," Timm explains. FIVE, a Dubai-based real estate business that operates a range of luxury hotels and resorts in the city, provided another, maybe more inexpensive, "flying hotel" alternative. It bought an Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty during the Airshow, which it plans to use to shuttle passengers across the world starting in 2023. Prior to that, it will refurbish the 786-square-foot aircraft, which will have a dining table for eight guests as well as a

How was Mount Kilimanjaro, a mountain that has distinct geology and history formed?. Our planet's surface is divided into several separate portions, some large and others little. Tectonic plates are what they're called. Africa is one of the biggest continental plates on the planet. The plates do not remain stationary; instead, they move around the earth's surface, propelled by convection currents in the mantle. Some sink or subduct beneath others, others clash, and still, others split up. This is exactly what is going on in Africa. In East Africa, the East African Rift Valley is a growing divergent plate boundary. The Somalian plate, which makes up the eastern half of Africa, is sliding away from the remainder of the continent, which is made up of the Nubian plate. A rift valley has resulted from this expansion. The crustal expansion has resulted in a succession of lengthy lowland valleys divided by highland areas. Read more facts about Mount Kilimanjaro. Volcanoes develop when plates split apart, according to one of plate tectonics' basic laws. This is why Kilimanjaro, as well as other well-known volcanoes like Ol Doinyo Lengai, exist. Mount Kilimanjaro was produced as part of the Great Rift Valley's creation. Volcanic activity focused on a few distinct places almost a million years ago. Kilimanjaro is really three volcanoes stacked on top of one another, rather than a single mountain summit. Shira, Mawenzi, and Kibo were formed roughly 3 million years ago with the formation of the Great Rift Valley. Due to enormous forces that drove the crust skywards, Shira was the first to develop. Shira collapsed to form a caldera around 500,000 years ago, while Mawenzi began to develop about 460,000 years ago. Kibo was produced by another eruption west of Mawenzi. Shira, the lowest peak at 12,995 feet, last erupted
