Aircruise

This is what the luxury airship of the future could look like: a vertical, multi-level, flying condo, lifted by hydrogen gas in bags, and powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

In fact, this is a media exercise by UK design company Seymourpowell and has no bearing on reality.

Still, it makes for interesting fantasy: a 265m high and would be able to carry about 100 passengers and 20 crew at 90km/h.

Read about it here.

Hydrogen? Forget it. Helium — it has a chance.

Yeah, but the airship in the picture is not what they would call “flyable” – it’s a marketing gimmick for a design firm.
