Floating Hotels in the future
Imagine taking a cruise ship but instead of floating on water, it floats thousands of meters above ground. The “Aircruise” futuristic concept was made by the design company Seymourpowell.
The current concept includes bars, spas, 10 luxury apartments and glass floors. The hotel will be 265 meters tall and could only carry about 100 people including the crew members. The Aircruise uses about 330,000 cubic meters hydrogen gas to float in the air. The hotel’s main source of power will be large hydrogen fuel cells ha will also be used for some drinking water.
The Aircruise is made with the purpose of people enjoying their traveling from point A to B. Because there is no urgency for the guests to arrive at their destination, they can enjoy a reflective traveling experience where they can relax and be at peace. The Aircruise’s speed ranges from 50 to 100 kilometers per hour. An eight hour flight would take a little over 39 hours with the Aircruiser. The Aircruiser would cost a lot to built but its designers are confident that it will become a reality in the near future.
This is super cool! When will start flying these things?
I don’t really know the exact date, but I suppose in 10 years or so maybe? It’s still in the designing process.
