Seymourpowell Aircruise – Future of air travel

The idea behind the Seymourpowell Aircruise Concept is that it will be a floating luxury hotel that is over 800 feet tall and will float like a large balloon over cityscapes or dramatic landscapes like the watching of the migration of the wildebeests in Kenya. An ocean trip from New York to London would take 37 hours. The Seymourpowell Aircruise would accept up to 100 guests, and 10 luxury apartments would be up for grabs. The Seymourpowell Aircruise will above all be safe. Hydrogen gas will provide the lift. The airship will also be powered by solar energy plus several hydrogen fuel cells which will provide not only the motivation but also safe drinking water for the customers. This serene type of air travel will include large spaces within the craft for dining, lounging and a bar for entertainment. The crew at Seymourpowell anticipate that the Aircruise hotel could be ready as early as 2015 if the project is a go. This may be a bit pie-in-the-sky as far as how future hydrogen travel may go. Then again, perhaps the sky is the limit and we are only limited by our current imaginations. www.youtube.com

kinda cool. but is it dangerous? still, it would be an awesome way to die! not that it seems dangerous or anything. well, it kind of does. but not that much. i’m sure it’s perfectly safe, being full of hydrogen and all.

Everything that needs something human created to stay safe is never 100% safe, something can always happend, all we can do is prep the machinery for every possible situation we can think of happening, and make sure the machinery is always in good shape, and good news is that we’r getting better at it Read about this in the news like 15minutes ago and after I’m done writing this I’m gonna set up a savings account so I’ll be able to have my vaication on one of these ships one day in the future.

ANY PEOPLE ON BOARD YET?

Another cool thing that won’t happen.
Scale the project down and make 10 units of smaller models of the same consept. THEN you’d collect the experience and data you need to go large scale. Otherwise this project is doomed to fail.

is it really possible to finance such a machine?

8. pepersajou on February 28th, 2010 at 7:21 am
It sure would be cool seeing this thing fly. :]

I’d be interested to know how it copes with strong winds. Also, I’d like to see it developed for the common traveler, rather than being pitched at the wealthy. This might happen if it is mass produced with economies of scale.

O Futuro já chegou .. e “deus” que nada sabe fazer pros seres humanos MORREU. E seus parasitas que adoram sugar o dinheiro dos pobres correm sôfregos montando “ecumenismos” pra tentar manter a mamata de beber e comer à custa dos que produzem e conquistam as belezas da vida. Viva a Ciência, as autênticas informações, e o bem-viver.

O Mirante Planador … para um futuro assim uma geração que se move por Reflexão capaz de descrever como arte o movimento de formação de espetaculares formas do íntimo da Natureza Nuclear … uma geração de Primers, incursores do Jogo do Séc. XXI….

lol, your not gonna see the average joe in these for at least 20-30 yrs, its just like space travel, cruise ships etc, and to avoid been blown to kingdom come, theyd have to design them more flat than round to act like a wing flap that side on propels with the wind and front on slim line reduces resistance.. plus a few jet engines just in case.
