Eco Factor: Concept airship powered by hydrogen fuel cells and solar energy.
The brainchild of designers at London-based Seymourpowell, the Aircruise is what the future of travel and hospitality might look like. Known as a giant and elegant “Clipper in the Clouds,” the airship harvests solar energy, while its primary source of power is a hydrogen fuel cell drive system.
The Aircruise is a blend between an airship and a hotel, which offers the best in luxury in an eco-conscious manner. The zero-emission concept can cruise at around 90mph, which means a journey from London to New York will take about 37 hours.
Integrating four duplex apartments and five smaller apartments with a penthouse apartment, bar/lounge/communal areas, the Aircruise creates a luxury hotel in the skies. At 30m high, the giant airship features glass floors that offer breathtaking views from the sky.
