The conceptual Nuclear-Powered Sky Hotel is the design work of Hashem AI-Ghaili based on an idea by Tony Holmsten as a futuristic kind of aircraft hotel for a different kind of travel experience.
The aircraft hotel is engineered to fly for years on end thanks to its nuclear-powered design that provides energy to the 20 electric engines. A total of 5,000 guests could reside in the sky hotel at once thanks to its gargantuan size, while luxurious amenities including shopping malls, restaurants, sports centers and more keep travelers busy.
AI-Ghaili spoke on the conceptual Nuclear-Powered Sky Hotel saying, "I do believe that the Sky Cruise (Skytanic or Flytanic) could someday roam our skies. Small nuclear reactors that can power airplanes are expected to be ready by 2030s.”
