Flying cruise ship

That Airbus A380 is so last year.
Check out the latest flying hotel called the Aeroscraft.
This is not a Blimp. It’s a sort
of flying Queen Mary 2 that could change the way you think about air
travel. It’s the Aeroscraft, and when it’s completed, it will ferry
pampered passengers across continents and oceans as they stroll
leisurely about the one-acre cabin or relax in their well-appointed
staterooms. [via]
The big bonus of this thing as opposed to the A380 is that it doesn’t need 5km worth of runway to get it’s bulky frame back on mother earth. The Aeroscraft takes off and lands like a chopper – so technically you could take off at the Waterfront and land at Clifton on a yacht.
Expect Branson to pre-order 10.
