Manned Cloud by Jean-Marie Massaud « Eco Question – Green Space for Thinking

Rediscovering the marvel of traveling, experiencing contemplation. Exploring the world without trace. Manned Cloud is an alternative project around leisure and travelling in all its form, economic and experimental, still with the idea of lightness, human experience and life scenarios as the guiding principles. Back to top Scientific Partner: ONERA (Office National d’Etudes et Recherches Aérospatiales) Technical characteristics Capacity: 40 passengers + 15 crew members Volume: 520.000 m3 Speed: 5000 km / 72 hr.

Aircruise- Luxurious Flying Hotel. Every single year a new concept of a luxurious hotel is visiting the offices of various designing companies.

Aircruise- Luxurious Flying Hotel

Now the victims of such a project is the London design bureau Seymourpowell , which submitted the hilarious design of a flying hotel Aircruise. Great! Hopefully though it will not turn into a graph on the paper and be overleft as some of the projects did. The new draft of the hotel-flying airship design submitted by the London office Seymourpowell, becoming the most luxurious way to travel and this is awesome news. After the death of Zeppelin “Hindenburg” mankind for many years abandoned the cool idea of passenger traffic in leisurely, luxurious airship which is not comparable to the comfort of the cruise ships as it’s a lot more better.

Here the passengers do not need to huddle in a narrow chair or uncomfortable seats, but can safely walk on the decks, looking at the bottom of the floating landscape. D-Dalus - an entirely new genre of aircraft arrives. Austrian research company IAT21 has presented a new type of aircraft at the Paris Air Show which has the potential to become aviation's first disruptive technology since the jet engine.

D-Dalus - an entirely new genre of aircraft arrives

View all The D-Dalus (a play on Daedalus from Greek mythology) is neither fixed wing or rotor craft and uses four, mechanically-linked, contra-rotating cylindrical turbines, each running at the same 2200 rpm, for its propulsion. The key to the D-Dalus' extreme maneuverability is the facility to alter the angle of the blades (using servos) to vector the forces, meaning that the thrust can be delivered in your choice of 360 degrees around any of the three axes. Hence D-Dalus can launch vertically, hover perfectly still and move in any direction, and that's just the start of the story.

Like most cars and aircraft these days, it sounds very complex but it's all controlled by computer algorithms, so it's simple joystick control for the user, and far less exacting than a helicopter to fly. Unmanned Systems AG. RFL31 : The Tip-jet helicopter is back! - Home.
