Airship
I love the idea of this. It is a total anachronism, it is slow, big, and impractical for passenger travel. But I love it. The attraction of cruise ships is usually the places you visit. The beauty of this will be the places you fly over. Granted, it will largely appeal to the same crowd as cruise ships: families and retired couples, but the idea of floating over the Okavango in June.. amazing:
The FAA has accepted the Aeroscraft Aeros ML866 for certification, the aircraft which is neither an airship nor a dirigible or an airplane or an helicopter or a UFO, but is "classified as a fourth type of air vehicle, a buoyancy assisted air vehicle." However, don't hold your breath for a pleasant trip in this long-range, 210-feet-long, 5,000-square-feet cruise liner of the skies: the company told the Giz that the "ML866 is preliminary scheduled to begin the flight test activities in 30-36 months."
