ABSTRACT:
A wind resistant habitable dwelling which includes the fuselage of an aircraft rotatably mounted on a support column. The tail fin of the fuselage is retained to allow the dwelling to pivot about the support column and point into the direction of the prevailing wind. The fuselage of the aircraft has points along its undercarriage support framework for attachment of a rotatable support column, which is cylindrical in shape. The support column includes a bearing assembly and a gearing system. The bearing assembly defines a single axis of rotation that is perpendicular to a level ground surface, so that the fuselage is capable of pivoting about the support column within a plane parallel to the level ground surface. The gearing system, which is also attached to the fuselage of the aircraft, is driven by motors and is capable of being further controlled by both dampening and braking assemblies housed in the support column. Access to the support column is provided by a ground level hatchway.
