A concept video of Sky Cruise, a giant flying machine that can carry 5,000 passengers and has all the luxuries of the world, has gone viral on the internet.
Others were more sarcastic than critical, stating that they could see the Sky Cruise fly if "physics and aerodynamics did not exist". Another user said the concept was like putting together a ''Titanic with Hindenburg and then putting a nuclear reactor in it". Both the positive and the negative. 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 takes no credit for the airship's design and said that it was done by Tony Holmsten several years ago, Cruisehive reported. The maker of the video claims that such an aircraft built in the future would have no carbon footprint, The Independent reported. The concept of a floating world in itself is not new and has been described even in Jonathan Swift's works from the 18th century, much before the Wright Brothers made their first flight.

A futuristic giant nuclear-powered flying hotel, Sky Cruise, showcases basic amenities like a gym and swimming pool with the ability to carry around 5,000 passengers. For all occasions, the aircraft has everything ready and sorted. The cruise will be powered by 20 nuclear fusion engines.
An outlandish concept for a nuclear-powered floating hotel has been unveiled, designed to fly with 20 electric engines and an AI pilot in a nearly nonstop ...
Some people were concerned about the size of the cruiser, as one YouTube user pointed out how big the runway would need to be for such a "monster-sized" aircraft, and another added: "That thing is massive, it's at least 20 times larger than any commercial airplane. Outside of the main hub of activity, there is a panoramic hall inside an observation tower that offers 360-degree views of the sky above the clouds, plus three individual viewing domes for stargazing. Its design combines "features of a commercial plane while offering the epitome of luxury" for passengers who would arrive at the hotel via airliner or private jet.
A giant nuclear-powered 'flying hotel', complete with a gym and swimming pool, is set to carry 5000 passengers in unparalleled luxury.
And, the massive development cost is also another concern. Uneven drag would also like a word on those. While someone else commented “I’m sure I would be able to afford a ticket for the lowest deck with no leg space and no access to the lounge”. And it would be perfect as the Sky Cruise offers a panoramic hall, offering breathtaking 360 degree views of the outside. Despite plans for a man-less ride, the Sky Cruise will still require plenty of staff on board to be at every passenger’s beck and call. It’s a bird, it’s a plane … no, it’s a giant nuclear-powered ‘flying hotel’, complete with a gym and swimming pool that’s set to carry 5,000 passengers.
An AI-guided cruise ship is said to remain suspended in the air for years without landing on the ground, thanks to its nuclear power.
A Chinese tech company presented ideas for one mile per second hypersonic aircraft in April that would take two hours to cover long-distance routes like Shanghai to New York. The creators added that Sky Cruise will be completely autonomous thanks to its AI technology. It highlighted various bars and restaurants, viewing decks, theaters, swimming pools, games rooms, and even wedding halls for couples who want to exchange their "I dos" above the clouds.
A nuclear-powered hotel is in the works, and it sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. What are the specifications on Sky Cruise?
I can’t believe this even needs to be said, but this is a shockingly bad idea. Even at gunpoint, I don’t think you could convince me to get on it. You’d have to be crazy to ever get on a nuclear-powered flying hotel.
The hotel itself, called a “sky cruise”, looks like a cross between a luxury cruise ship and a space station, and can be seen floating above the clouds. So ...
I can’t even imagine the amount of maintenance something this massive would need. “That thing is massive, it’s at least 20 times larger than any commercial aeroplane. The hotel itself has been designed by a designer called Tony Holmsten and the video has been animated by Al-Ghaili. Who has the hotel been created by and where has the video come from? What does the hotel look like, and what facilities does it have? So, where has the video come from, what exactly does it show, is the hotel real and how does the technology work?
Would you feel safe sleeping in a gigantic flying hotel that never lands?What if we told you it was piloted by an artificial intelligence, fuelled by an ...
"Don't see that getting shot down lol." "I am pro-nuclear, as almost all of you know by now," Canadian columnist David Staples tweeted. "I can't even imagine the maintenance something this massive would need."
The Sky Cruise is a wild concept for a massive airship that mixes a luxury hotel with entertainment, business and medical facilities.
That’s to say nothing of the fact that it would undoubtedly cost guests a fortune — certainly much more than, say, the already expensive “immersive” Star Wars cruise. To help with continuous flight, the Sky Cruise would be piloted by an AI, which can also predict air turbulence and react accordingly. All in all, it certainly sounds like a neat concept — for a sci-fi story.
