French designer Jean-Marie Massaud’s preliminary concept for a floating hotel could be mistaken for a whale-shaped cloud. Developed in conjunction with French national aerospace research body Onera, the designer dirigible combines early 20th century upper-cruster air travel and with the futurism of modern design. Up to 40 wealthy passengers will be lambasted with luxury while the white whale provides a breathtaking bird’s eye view of the blue planet. Although Massaud does not go into great detail about design features, here’s hoping hydrogen won’t be the first choice for lifting these cetaceans.
