Flying Hotel

[nemorathwald]

Here's a link to a website of futuristic projects of a vacation destination company. There's a city on a ship, a orbiting resort, and an undersea hotel.




I would love to host a science fiction convention aboard this flying hotel. I expect the biggest challenge of this facility to probably be the plumbing. "Its 14 million cu. ft. of helium will provide lift for two-thirds of its weight, with jet engines providing lift for the other third." It's estimated to be completed in 2010. It would have a restaurant on board, which would have to be at least as expensive as most hotel restaurants.

But needless to say, it would not have cheap restaurants within walking distance.

Or 300 cubits by 50 cubits. Now that certainly brings up interesting mental images. There was once a Hanna-Barbara cartoon titled "Yogi's Gang" that depicted a flying Ark.
