I don't usually post here but I just saw this and apparently it's been in the newspaper aswell according to my mum.

It's an airship that can carry like 500 people. It's said to be the cruise ship of the future.

It's fake and will never show in the next 20 years or so. That's we have companies like Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier and so on. Also even I say the A380 is better then that, and i don't even like it!

Would be fun to ride on that. Especially since it doesn't fly above the clouds meaning you can see buildings etc. Whether its safe or not or if its profitable or not is another matter :).

Not sure if its real or not though but I am pretty sure there are airships around.

I think the image is computer generated but it's obviously a genuine idea.

Yeah, but the travel is much better with jet airlines like we have today. Although, that target is very big for terrorism but thats the downside to most things these days.
