I suppose I shouldn't laugh, but this is too unbelievable. But consider that Musk had the vision to create Tesla and is now the richest man in the world. So maybe this guy sees something!!A giant nuclear-powered ‘flying hotel’, complete with a gym and swimming pool is set to carry 5,000 passengers in unparalleled luxury.
A new CGI video details how the AI-piloted Sky Cruise plans to remain airborne for months at a time, while also docking to take on new passengers, or to drop off anyone board.
The futuristic hybrid between a plane and hotel – which has 20 engines powered by nuclear fusion – is designed never to land.
Hashem Alghaili, who created the incredibly detailed mockup of the monster aircraft, says the nuclear-powered sky cruise “could be the future of transport”.
My reaction. This "airplane" would be extremely massive. The same goal, of a flying hotel, could be achieved by using a Dirigibles (Zeppelins). At least with a dirigible you get buoyancy by using Helium. As envisioned, massive nuclear reactors would be very heavy, not to mention having the weight of pools containing water.
