Meet World’s largest Nuclear-powered flying hotel, takes internet by storm
The presence of hotels is something we are used to. But, a graphic designer and video producer named Hashem Al-Ghaili developed a movie of a floating hotel, changing the perception of hotels. In particular, the movie illustrates a design for an AI-piloted aircraft that has a 5,000-person capacity and can fly for years without landing. For those looking to take a lengthy trip, this is probably ideal. Internet users are responding to the viral video of the concept plane with a variety of opinions.
The video of the aircraft billed as ‘Sky Cruise’ takes viewers on a tour of the ‘flying hotel’ in question. It explains what passengers can see and do once they board. When watching the video, one could easily be convinced that it is a regular ‘land hotel,’ especially when the wedding halls with a view of the Aurora Borealis, restaurants, and medical facilities are displayed.
Hashem Al-Ghaili first posted the hotel’s footage to his YouTube channel with the caption “Sky Cruise: A Futuristic Hotel Above the Clouds.” Later in the viral video, it is revealed that Tony Holmsten, a concept artist who works in film, animation, and video games, was responsible for the design of the aeroplane.
Since it was posted a few days ago, the video has had over seven lakh views, and counting. Additionally, a number of remarks have been made in response to the share. Some online users responded to the video by expressing their enthusiasm for the idea, while others sceptical about it. However, when they heard about a hotel that has a nuclear power source and can fly for years, people were all in amazement, as one would expect.

Airbus Plans Cockpit Toilet to Make Single-Pilot Operations a Reality
In a bold move aimed at cutting costs, Airbus is exploring the possibility of installing a potty-style toilet right behind the Captain’s seat on its A350 long-haul aircraft. According to the reports from paddleyourownkanoo.com
This proposal is part of the ongoing effort to implement Extended Minimum Crew Operations (eMCO), a concept that could revolutionize the aviation industry by reducing the number of pilots required on ultra-long-haul flights.

Currently, on long flights, two pilots stay in the cockpit while the others rest in a separate compartment. However, under eMCO, one pilot could be alone in the cockpit for up to three hours while the other sleeps. The goal is to reduce crew costs and improve airline efficiency, as fewer pilots would be needed for these flights.
But this proposal has raised concerns from pilot unions, who worry about safety and the challenges of single-pilot operations. To address the issue of bathroom breaks, Airbus suggests installing a radio-equipped toilet in the cockpit, allowing the pilot to use it without leaving their seat.

If the pilot needs to use the toilet, the second pilot would have to be woken up, terminating the eMCO process temporarily.
If successful, Airbus plans to begin testing this system on its A350 aircraft as soon as 2027, with single-pilot operations possibly being introduced on freighter Airbus A320s within the next five years.
