Traveling by cruise is one of the many tourism options that exist to transport from one place to another around the world, but the evolution of technology is such that Hashem Al-Ghaili released the Sky Cruise, a project that would revolutionize not only aviation but world tourism.
“The nuclear-powered air cruiser might be the future of transportation,” he said on his Instagram profile, which has more than 300,000 followers.
The engineer wants to change the flight experience with his project Sky Cruise, that would have a capacity of 5,000 passengers and would have a shopping center inside, bars, restaurants, gyms and even a medical center.
“Its elegant design combines the characteristics of a commercial aircraft, while offering the epitome of luxury,” says Al-Ghaili’s video.
All this would be done with the help of a nuclear reactor that would have a “highly controlled fusion reaction to provide unlimited energy to the hotel in the sky.” Likewise, with the help of 20 electric motors and Artificial Intelligence, it intends to reduce turbulence with “navigation systems” that have “a state-of-the-art command platform”.
In addition, this aircraft would offer a 360-degree view to its passengers, that is, a great view of the outside.
Reactions in social networks to the magnitude of the project
The comments of all kinds were immediate, including those of this Internet user:
“A great idea to combine nuclear, plane and spa hotel. Thanks for the food for thought. Which made me think that a nuclear power plant would be more efficient if the plane might go into orbit and use the nuclear energy to heat the air inside, instead of wasting those kWh of energy fighting gravity. That way, there is no need for the motors to run all the time and keep something flying in the air. It should be more like a nuclear rocket“, said.
Hashem Al-Ghaili’s response
Such it was the stir that this project took, which was announced by several international media, however, faced with some skeptical comments regarding the initiative, the engineer Hashem Al-Ghaili He spoke regarding the “viability” and the possibility of dreaming of the human being.
“I want to reiterate that it is just a concept. I’m happy to see that it has sparked a lot of discussion and made you take a moment to dream of a future where such things might exist. Regardless of its viability, we humans should never stop dreaming. Let us always remember what Albert Einstein said: “If at first the idea is not absurd, then there will be no hope for it,” he assured on his Facebook account.
Meanwhile, he spoke of the small advances that some countries have been working on regarding nuclear reactors.
“I think that he Sky Cruise (…) one day it might tour our skies. Small nuclear reactors that can power aircraft are expected to be ready by 2030. The UK is working on a small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) which is expected to join the grid in 2029.and the United States is investing heavily in commercial nuclear fusion research,” he said that with some “changes in design, nuclear fusion, and proper aerodynamics, the Sky Cruise might one day take off and carry thousands of passengers above the clouds.”
He concluded by talking regarding the user experience during flights and the infrastructure of airplanes that have “bad design”.
“I think we are all tired of fighting for legroom in today’s poorly designed aircraft. Even business class is shrinking, making flying torture. I hope we live long enough to enjoy a comfortable flying experience inside the Sky Cruise”, he finished.
