Hashem Al-Ghaili created the Sky Cruise. It is an AI-piloted aircraft with a seating capacity of 5,000 passengers. The jumbo jet, which has 20 nuclear-powered engines, will remain airborne during its journey. Even repairs, according to Hashem Al-Ghaili, would be performed in-flight.

“After all this technology, do you still need pilots?” “I believe it will be fully autonomous,” Hashem Al-Ghaili said, hailing the aircraft as the “future of transportation.”


The plane will include a vault with a 360-degree view of the sky, an entertainment deck, a shopping mall, sports centres, restaurants, bars, playgrounds, cinemas and swimming pools, wedding halls, and meeting rooms.

The flying hotel’s launch date has yet to be announced.
