The Flying Luxury Hotel

Tomorrow's cruise ship will sail through the air, not the water

LIFTOFF!

On a pressurized plane, windows like these would explode outward . The Aeroscraft does not fly high enough to need pressurization.

This is not a Blimp. It's a sort of flying Queen Mary 2 that could change the way you think about air travel. It's the Aeroscraft, and when it's completed, it will ferry pampered passengers across continents and oceans as they stroll leisurely about the one-acre cabin or relax in their well-appointed staterooms.

Unlike its dirigible ancestors, the Aeroscraft is not lighter than air. Its 14 million cubic feet of helium hoist only two thirds of the craft's weight. The rigid and surprisingly aerodynamic body

looks interesting....however...the hindenburg disaster did not kill the rigid airship....winds aloft did.

huge slow moving craft are at the mercy of massive wind forces. the us navy lost at least two of its rigid airships to storms. how will this design fare?

a fantastic idea however......reminds me of the curise ship in fifth element. i would love to see one in the sky.
