Next Episode of Impossible Engineering is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
Behind every seemingly impossible marvel of modern engineering is a cast of historic trailblazers who designed new building techniques, took risks on untested materials and revolutionised their field. Brand new series, Impossible Engineering, is a tribute to their achievements. Each episode details how giant structures, record-beating buildings, war ships and space crafts are built and work. As the show revels in these modern day creations, it also leaps back in time to recount the stories of the exceptional engineers whose technological advances made it all possible. How would they have ever existed without the historical work of their ancestors? Interviews with their great advocates bring engineering history to life and retell how these incredible accomplishments shaped the modern world.
The largest semi-submersible crane vessel in the world, the SSCV Sleipnir, pushes the limits of engineering possibilities; with its two record-breaking cranes, it's one of the most complex ships ever constructed and redefines how we build at sea.
The Rosalind Franklin ExoMars rover is a brand-new space mission by the European Space Agency (ESA) to discover hard evidence of extraterrestrial life; special access reveals how engineers and experts are making a new age in exploration possible.
The deepest-diving submersible vessel in the world, the Triton 36000/2 (aka DSV Limiting Factor), is one of the most intricately designed crafts ever engineered for the sea. Having reached the bottom of each of the five oceans and certified "Depth: Unlimited," this submarine's accomplishments are truly monumental.
The abandoned Battersea Power Station on the banks of the River Thames is being reinvented into a stunning centerpiece of London; now, experts use cutting-edge construction techniques to transform this historic landmark into a pioneering new destination.
The Global Supertanker is the largest firefighting aircraft in the world and equipped to reach the biggest blazes anywhere; expert engineers reveal how this game-changing machine is a vital tool for supporting heroic firefighters on the ground.
The Singapore National Stadium is a gigantic multipurpose arena that all sits under the world's largest free-spanning dome; expert engineers reveal how this cutting-edge design marks the dawn of a new age in superstructure construction.
The largest helicopter in the U.S. military arsenal, CH-53E Super Stallion, has completely redefined the capabilities of heavy-lift aircraft; using the latest in cutting-edge engineering, it can transport vast amounts of cargo and personnel, all while under enemy fire.
The US military's most advanced hovercraft, Ship-to-Shore Connector (SSC), represents the next generation of amphibious transport vehicles; using the latest in cutting-edge tech, it's designed to carry the heaviest cargo into locations that were previously impossible to reach.
The Queensferry Crossing in Scotland is the longest triple tower cable-stayed bridge in the world, and with record-breaking underwater foundations, it stretches the limits of engineering possibilities and marks a new age of superstructure construction.
The V-22 Osprey is a revolutionary feat of aviation engineering that combines the speed and range of an airplane with the landing versatility of a helicopter, allowing the US military to transport troops and cargo into seemingly impossible locations.
