A GIANT nuclear-powered 'flying hotel', complete with a gym and swimming pool could carry 5,000 passenger in unparalleled luxury.
A new CGI video details how the AI-piloted Sky Cruise plans to remain airborne for months at a time, while also docking to take on new passengers, or to drop off anyone board.
The futuristic hybrid between a plane and hotel - which has 20 engines powered by nuclear fusion - is designed never to land.
Hashem Alghaili, who created the incredibly detailed mockup of the monster aircraft, says the nuclear-powered sky cruise “could be the future of transport”.

:is-this:
the future of transport?
Designed to run 24/7, Alghaili even adds that running repairs would be carried out in-flight - a first in aviation.
And, when asked how many people it would take to fly this gigantic plane, he said: “All this technology and you still want pilots?
:youre-laughing: pilots?? pffft ha, pilots pft shh haha
"I believe it will be fully autonomous”.
Despite plans for a man-less ride,
:sicko-fem:
the Sky Cruise will still require plenty of staff on board to be at every passengers beck and call.
The greatly detailed video also promises restaurants, a gigantic shopping mall, a gym, theatre and even a swimming pool - all in the sky.
:galaxy-brain: there will still be servants, of course
