Flying Hotel to Cart Passengers Around In Luxury -- at 18,000 Feet

When completed, the flying ship will have 20 bedrooms, a spa, a gym, a library, a bar, and a restaurant -- all crammed into a two-story hanging glass structure that provides panoramic views of the world around you. With a top speed of 105 miles-per-hour the Manned Cloud can circle the globe in 10 days, and cross the U.S. on a single tank of fuel.
According to the designers, the ship will run on some sort of gas, rather than gasoline or diesel, making it a fully-green cruise-ship of the skies.
No price has been announced, but its sure to be a little steep for most. But look on the bright side, at least you'll have the next 12 years to save up for a ticket!

if you look at the other pictures of this thing it looks just like a beluga whale.

Looks like a beached whale bloated with GAS - Yikes - Jet AirCraft are pressurized & fly ABOVE storms / bad weather - Can U spell TURBULENCE - Like Whats UP CHUCK? LOL
CaseyFeb 5th 2008 12:08AM
That design is really cool. I agree with zw08, it does look like a Beluga Whale, but I think it looks really cool. I wouldn't mind vacationing on it... As long as they completely perfect it. No turbulence, please!
And cover its exterior with bouncy rubber, in case terrorists try to nose-dive it. This way, it'll move so slowly and the rubber will bounce it back into the sky! :D Haha

Don't get excited. It's not the first cool idea that didn't pan out.
HardluckFeb 5th 2008 9:53AM
Its kinda scarry!!! There is not way that you'll see me up there. I rather keep my feet on the ground thank you!!!!
JudyFeb 5th 2008 10:19AM
I hope they speed up that date. Prophesies say the world ends on 2012.
I sure hope not but the Mayan calendar ends there.

It doesn't look like a cloud at all. It's a flying whale. Got that from Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe.
