will we ever get cruise ship sized aircraft? (poll) (pic)

Lol wtf. Looks cool but I said no, seems infeasible. Who knows what the ultra-rich will do once we all start eating bugs.

Companies arent interested in big aircraft. They are too inefficient and expensive to operate.

747 and A380 arent even manufactured anymore.

A swimming pool in an airplane?

Large aircraft are more efficient to operate on a per-mile basis than small ones.

The reason we're going to 737s and A320s is because most passengers don't need to go from Atlanta to Seattle. They need to go from Savannah to Olympia, and they don't want to drive to a major city. Therefore the industry has been moving to smaller flights from smaller cities.

I believe so. An artificial beach with a wave pool no less.

How long does thing fly for to enable passengers to enjoy all these cool amenities?
What do we do in the event of climate changed induced giga turbulence?
How long does the run way need to be in order for this thing to take off?

Instead of big slow aircraft I think the industry is going to move to faster craft. Would you rather take a 30-60 minute flight across the country? Or a 5-6 hour flight across the country? If you are flying around the world would you want a 15-20 hour flight? Or a 2 hour flight?




There are multiple companies working on this concept already. Only a matter of time before we are getting launched into space to traverse the Earth then set back down safely in an airport.
