Sky Hooks 3

[TDIengineer]

Does anyone have a good specification for sky hooks?

I have an architect that seems to dislike columns altogether.

When all fails, no supports anywhere and hair is being pulled out.

The skyhooks save the day.

Please lets have a spec.

If you can get in touch with Dr. Zharkov he'll be able to help you out. He invented the ray that kept an entire city aloft in the sky of Mongo. And he did it in 20 minutes too.

Batman used a Sky Hook when he was extracting the villain from Hong Kong in The Dark Knight. They work, you just need a passing airplane to attach to.
