Big Air Package is the largest ever inflated envelope without aid of a skeleton (Gasometer Oberhausen bills it as the largest indoor sculpture in history) and reaches 90 meters high, with a diameter of 50 meters and a volume of 177,000 cubic meters.</p></em><br /><br /><p> <img alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/514x/9f/9fb5441f7114851e4282a9808932e87b.jpg" title=""></p> <p> <img alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/514x/29/295c4734b7d2af1607d9dd8068fe9f01.jpg" title=""></p> <p> <img alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/514x/f5/f5edb8096ac42aa5f1b93b34e70c65a2.jpg" title=""></p> <p> <img alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/514x/fd/fd8521a1eb1713fc21a7c3bdf76ad3ab.jpg" title=""></p>
