Introducing the world’s first airplane/hotel that can stay airborne for YEARS.
Would you book a trip on the Sky Cruise?
What Can One Expect on the Sky Cruise?
In order to visit the Sky Cruise, potential guests would need to charter a plane or book tickets on commercial airliners that would fly to the location. Once on the “sky cruise,” guests would have scenic 360° views of their surroundings.
The “Sky Cruise” has multiple viewing decks built into the aircraft as well as restaurants and bars with an incredible selection of food and drinks.
In addition, the aircraft hotel would have luxurious movie theaters, game rooms, and venues for events.
So if you’re thinking of getting married in the sky, your dream is on its way to reality!
The creator of the video, Hashem Al-Ghaili, said the Sky Cruise would be powered by 20 electric engines that will keep the aircraft afloat in the sky.
NO CARBON FOOTPRINT
The creator of the video claims that such an aircraft built in the future would have no carbon footprint, The Independent reported.
Powered by nuclear fusion, the ship will be able to remain in the sky for years together, all without carbon emissions.
The ship will be steered by artificial intelligence (A.I.), which would be so adept at reading weather conditions that it cannot only predict turbulent weather but also glide over it, providing a hassle-free experience to guests, according to the Independent.
What Inspired Al-Ghaili to Create the Sky Cruise?
Al-Ghaili takes no credit for the airship’s design and says that it was done by Tony Holmsten several years ago. Al-Ghaili only animated the design and put up the video depicting what it would be like to have a real-world Sky Cruise, which he calls the ‘Flytanic.’
He says, “I believe the current flying experience has become tiresome and outdated. It is time for new innovations, that make our flight experiences more comfortable. I have always been a fan of Studio Ghibli. Castle in the Sky is one of my favorite movies where we see massive flying ships with people living inside.”
Al-Ghaili imagines a world where flying moves beyond the fight for leg space.
How Long Until the Sky Cruise Becomes a Reality?
Al-Ghaili is confident that the date for release is not too far away.
He says, “I would go for the 2030s or 2040s at the latest. All we need is sufficient energy for the takeoff. That’s why nuclear energy was part of the design. I believe it’s a matter of time before powerful nuclear reactors become small enough to fit inside a plane that size.”
He added that once these small reactors are in place, then the only work left would be to develop the aerodynamics of the flight.
Wow! This is incredible. I must say, the suspicious side of me wonders if the development of such a “community sized vehicle” doesn’t serve another purpose. Hmmmm.
