Video shows what a bizarre nuclear-powered ‘flying hotel’ could look like
A video showing ambitious designs for a flying “hotel of the future”, which could host 5,000 guests and remain airborne for years at a time, has divided the internet.
The hulking jet, which looks somewhere between a cruise ship and a space station floating above the clouds, was shown in a CGI video posted by animator Hashem Al-Ghaili on YouTube.
Designers say the aircraft would be powered by nuclear energy, piloted by AI and have its own disc-shaped observation tower in which passengers could see incredible skyscapes from above the clouds.
