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.

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.

Inside insane giant flying luxury hotel (NEWS.com.au)

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.

'Flying Hotel That Never Lands': AI Sky Cruise Ship Will Use Nuclear ... (Tech Times)

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 futurist flying luxury hotel that uses nuclear energy to stay in the air and never needs to land has been compared to the “modern day Titanic”.

On Twitter, one person likened it to the ill-fated Titanic. Another referred to it as “ Skytanic”. Meanwhile, others said it was like the plot of the film. They wrote: “this is about to be the modern-day titanic.”

The viral video has garnered mixed reactions, some saying the plane defies the laws of physics.

Any cleaning or maintenance would be done above ground. The machine would also be able to use artificial intelligence to predict turbulence before it happens, and would prevent vibrations with an 'anti-turbulence technology'. According to Al-Ghaili, the hotel would be able to run for years without touching the ground.

Proposed Flying Hotel Sounds Like The Worst Idea In Human History (The Daily Caller)

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.

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?

This crazy nuclear-powered flying hotel is straight out of BioShock (MobileSyrup)

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.

The high-flying Sky Cruise concept sees a gigantic airplane skin to a cruise ship that's able to be constantly airborne.

“It’s nice to see people point out the flaws of the design and attempt to propose solutions to them, which is what we need to make it more perfect. The UK is one of the top countries working on small nuclear reactors. The sky cruise itself won’t land, but you’ll still get to land where you want thanks to a docking port that allows airplanes to attach themselves and exchange passengers with the sky cruise. I wrote the script and edited the video to showcase what it could look like in real life.” Think of sky hotel as a vacation place that moves around and takes you where you want to go,” says Hashem. “While you’re enjoying your vacation in the sky cruise, you’re being transported to your destination.
