The flying hotel with an area equal to two football fields hangs in air with 14 million cubic feet of helium, huge electric and hydrogen fuel cell powered propellers and six turbofan jet engines.
A grandiose blend of the past and future, this dirigible conception may look like those zeppelins out of the 30's. But the Aeroscraft in actuality is heavier than air (14 cubic ft of helium can only hoist two third of the total weight), while its streamlined body is powered by mammoth propellers situated at the rear part. Coming to user oriented features, the craft can travel up to a range of 6,000 miles, while having the capacity for 250 passengers.
Flying 8,000 feet above in the air, the 165×244×647 feet airship will provide tourists hi-tech amenities including casino, restaurants and staterooms. Galactic Suite
