Sensibility is a worthy asset if you are a professional designer and the best example of this insinuation is the Rosenbauer Panther created by Spirit Design, an Austrian Concern. The Panther emerged as the winner in the Transportation section of the IDEA Design Awards 2008. Fire Engines are a privilege at the airports and that is what the panther is which does the job as a high performance machine. It has a whopping capacity of accommodating 3830 gallons of extinguishing agents and an operating weight of 40 tons. The 8×8 model treads at a top speed of 140km/h easily qualifying as the best machine available in the business. We now hope that the air-travel giants get a glimpse of this one at the earliest and recommend the need of this machine to the airport authorities. Tragedies such as the one that rocked the Madrid Airport (killing more than 150 people) could be tackled with a diminished consequence saving more lives on a regular note.
