What do you think about the idea of a Sky Hotel

What would a cruise liner look like if it could fly? A bonkers airplane concept is here to show you.

Meet the Sky Cruise, a gigantic flying resort that was conceived by Tony Holmsten about 11 years ago and was recently animated by Hashem Al-Ghaili. The aircraft is equal parts spaceship and ocean liner, and it comes with just about every amenity you could imagine. Its ginormous size can accommodate more than 5,000 guests, who would arrive on board via commercial or private plane (that’s right—jumbo jets would land on top of the Sky Cruise).

As for what you would get to enjoy once checked in, the views are quite obviously the biggest selling point. An elevated deck would provide a 360-degree vantage point for seeing everything from the stars to aurora borealis. From there, an elevator would take you down to the main entertainment deck, which looks like a cruise ship on steroids. You’d have access to shopping malls, sports centers, swimming pools, restaurants, bars, playgrounds, theaters and cinemas.

6. Cool

Thanks

7. Just watched the video...depends on fusion nuclear power.

Yeah…get back to us when you got that figured out.

5. Sounds like "Elysium"...but without a hero.

8. I've seen comments about this thing elsewhere

"The Titanic combined with the Hindenburg with a nuclear reactor strapped to it." Does it have an investor named John Hammond? I'm sure he'll spare no expense.

Reminds me of a lot of speculation about "The Future" from, say, the 1920s, when people had some wild ideas that had very little connection to physics and engineering realities (much less economic ones).

But then, this is in the same boat: an idea from 2011 that a guy recently drew on to make a CGI model and used it in a video. At least Hammond gave us CGI dinosaurs.

9. Thanks but no thanks

What do the life boats (life planes?) look like? A Mae West ain't gonna save you here.

10. My first thought---I can't afford it.

11. I've seen it on other websites.

I think it's a cartoon and shall remain so at least for my lifetime.

[malaise]

13. That's where I saw it

I’ll pass

12. I'm sure it would be just as much fun as flying on a commerical airline! Comfortable too!

15. Is this for the Supremes and fellow Koch-heads

to flee to after their decisions make the planet uninhabitable?

16. Bruce McCall explored this fascinating concept.

Unless there’s foolproof antigravity, I’m wearing a parachute.

17. I remember seeing this in a '56 issue of Popular Mechanics.

[Wednesdays]

18. I shudder to think of what the price of a ticket would be

for such a venue.
