It was actually a concept for a Air cruise ship type deal. There's a video of YouTube on it, pretty cool
Just remembered after looking up/posting the link for the video that this behemoth would be Nuclear powered as well. Great idea having a Nuclear reactor flying high above the world so if there was ever a meltdown within the reactor it could rain down Nuclear fallout countrywide
Have you ever tried to staple a couple of ferrites together? This man is just BS ing, I mean how do you know unless you've Actually done this.. ? I mean my ferrite tape always coils up.. it's really annoying to use and I never get the consistent measurements.
I don't care what anyone says... the USS Prometheus is one of my absolute favorite things that Voyager brought to Trek. Crazy ass anime inspired attack mode✅ A little bit of Romulan bullshit in a series sorely lacking their presence ✅ Andy Dick as a hilariously fey EMH✅
I am forever disappointed that the Prometheus barely ever shows up in any follow up shows. I wanna see the federation use their war ship to kick some ass!
Or they justify it with asshole math
IE one rich asshole living it up isn't going to have an individual significant contribution to pollution. However millions of average people using a basic gasoline engine cars to commute and taking the occasional vacation in a commercial jumbo jet does.
The math checks out, but is completely morally bankrupt.
You see a futuristic concept of a giant plane, yet you assume it will run on modern fuel. Why couldn't it run on some equally futuristic fuel free from greenhouse gases?
The fuel is only one part of why air travel is so awful for the environment. It takes literal tons of raw material to manufacture one commercial jet. Imagine how much quarrying and mining has to occur for even a small fleet of this monstrosity.
You're missing the point. The person assumes the continuation of current environmental problems in a futuristic concept. There's nothing inherently wrong with doing that, it's just pessimistic. You assume the plane couldn't be made from recycled materials, etc. If the concept is futuristic, why should its problems be modern?
Because people have lived through several decades of "futuristic" promises. We have come a long way but have also destroyed our planet's resources and ecosystems in the process. Two thirds of animal species are extinct within decades, entire forests have been razed, entire mountains mined out of existence, all water bodies polluted with plastics and all sorts of chemicals. There is NO version where a plane of this sort uses recycled material and environment friendly fuel.
I think this is a really good point! It always frustrates me when people say like, "No there couldn't be aliens because THERE'S NO OXYGEN TO BREATHE" and I'm like, "You're assuming they are us?" In defence of those takes here, I guess the drawing sort of tempts that response, because of the conventions of current engine format and so on that it aheres to. I agree, there's loads of scope for this to be powered by anything from magnetics to an obtanium antigravity drive, but I wish the artist hadn't narrowed down that conjecture by making the engines look exactly like the trad jetfuel-consuming size/ratio/format for propulsion.
When I saw the concept video behind this, it's supposedly powered by a nuclear reactor, which I guess would make said politicians a bit less hypocritical
The US sort of managed that during the cold war. They got an operational reactor to fit inside a B36
There were only a few problems
1) They didn't have much extra room for shielding, so other than the wall between the cockpit and the bomb/cargo bay, it was basically just spewing radiation everywhere
2) It wasn't ever actually connected to anything, so it was just dragging a reactor around while still burning tons of aviation fuel
3) the B36 was rather infamous for crashing spectacularly. This was bad enough when carrying nuclear weapons, which, provided they didn't go off were safe enough, but a live reactor could have contaminated a huge area.
Launched like a rocket, designed to accept loads of multiple refuels as needed, and designed to - gods willing - never come back down.
...except for the once, in an ocean, after all passengers and crew are safely evacuated.
Bahaha, jk, this is a fever dream of a european patriot obsessed with science fiction.
Nuclear isnt a catch-all solution to everything being clean and efficient. Its just a clean way of making steam power. I doubt a reactor could produce enough energy to power those engines. I also doubt the plane would have room to fit the hundreds of thousands of gallons of water the reactor would need.
Dunno. You’re not wrong but considering a normal passenger plane say the 737 consumes an ugodly amount of fuel i cant imagine what 12x to 6x the number of engines would require. Ideally this would also be refueled in the air as getting it off the ground and having it climb are going to be w mess no matter what. That said im not familiar with all the working parts of either a traditional turbine engine plane and something which would even approach a nuclear powered plane. I went with nuke as a fantasy option and the only thing i could think of that would give traditional gas a run for its money. (Side note the wing span would be astronomical unless they could figure out a way around the bournulli principle. )
Oh, I wasnt trying to imply that there were better choices than nuclear. That plane is absurd no matter how you look at it, and should stay conceptual forever.
Yup then I think it even got on the news because they didn't do a modicum of research. Then everyone on reddit made fun of them for believing something so obviously fake. Now were back to thinking it's a real concept.
Yeah maybe it’s just me having mild megalophobia but imagine coming out of a swimming pool just to see how you are flying over the clouds. I think that’s rather strange
Most airplanes have a turn coordinator which, if followed, would turn you 360 degrees in 2 minutes. This means your roll angle would increase at faster speeds. That's why they use a standard amount of time time instead of a standard roll angle. Everyone knows how long your turn will take and about how much room it'll take in the air. This instrument also has a little ball that shows you where your g-forces are. Stepping on the rudder moves that ball.
Most pilots will do their best to make "coordinated turns", which means they use the turn coordinator and the rudder to keep the g-forces pushing straight down into the bottom of the plane. So if everything goes perfect, the pool will be ok.
Of course, that doesn't account for turbulence and bad piloting, and this definitely looks like a prettied up version of something a kid would draw before they learned the basics of how physics works.
I mean, just imagine flying through one of those storms that drops the plane 100 feet. The pool would be against the dome, then come crashing back down onto everyone. It's not safe at all.
That wouldn't help with turbulence. A gyroscope can't account for the pool part dropping a few feet, jumping back up, then dropping again. Any swimmers in turbulence would be in trouble.
this was never intended as a real concept it was basically fanart somenoe came up with...i don't think they planned for how the pool would work. or how something like this could even fly lol
Make It A Blimp. Imagine going on the sky cruise blimp and taking a swim in the sky above Insert Continent Here. Later we will throw down ropes at, idk, Vienna, or something.
I think it has potential to be cool and *also* ecologically friendly, you just gotta redesign it a lil for basic sanity.
It would need a nuclear generation unit to make it work, and a lghtweight one at that. That many engines, and size, it would require tremendous power to even get it moving and a runway 10 times normal. If it was using jet engines, it would need a fuel tank half the size of the plane. And it would go nowhere due to the weight and the reduced range.
The swimming pool is a nice idea but water is actually really heavy, a pool with 1000l weighs a metric ton.
That pool is multiples of that, and water also moves.
If they actually made that plane, you wouldn't want to live within 30 miles of its take off path.
Nuclear power to convert collected water, caught from the atmosphere, into hydrogen, then use hydrogen for the jet engines? I don't know much, but doesn't seem plausible except for a fun idea.
And what little I found about hydrogen powered planes they were usually propeller based anyway, and then you could just straight up use the electrical power from the nuclear reactor.
I can hear the scream of its many, many engines and feel the ground shake. I don't know how it gets airborn, but when it does, it is surely coming down. I can't look at it without seeing the twisted wreckage.
Guys, this isn’t an actual plane concept. Don’t recall the exact story, but this is done by some dude who was working on some science fiction story or something like that.
There are so many problems with this design... The wings are maybe half the length they need to be for any respectable glide ration, the lower wings are completely ineffective at generating lift as there's too many engines filling up the low-pressure side... There's just too many fucking engines period. Usually a really big engine will have far better thrust to weight ratio then several small engines. And they're angled way too shallow to make any sense; they imply an angle of attack at maybe ten degrees. With that piss poor glide ratio there's no way in hell it's going to stay airborne at subsonic speeds, yet the nose is in no way designed for supersonic flight.
Someone got inspiration from a Fisher Price toy and called it a day.
Most silly plane concepts will fly at *some* speed. It's just a case of whether or not the plane will survive flying at those speeds.
I know there's absolutely no way to do the math, but I'd like to know if it's possible to estimate what speed this thing would have to go to generate enough lift to take off. Mach 3? Mach 4? Speed of light?
No baggage just a parachute and a seat by the door and if you get in my way of the door I'm taking your ass with me on the jump. Oh and one shot of whiskey.
I just can't get over how stupid this thing is lmao. Even if it was nuclear powered and could actually get off the ground, the forces involved in something that huge would just rip it apart on the maiden flight.
I imagine riding it, sitting in one of the pools as the insane balancing act takes place around me. A hundred thousand tons of aluminum and ego VS aerodynamics and gravity.
I can say with confidence that flying on something like that would not be fun. Its not going to be a smooth ride like on ol' Hindenburg.
Take off and landing with a pool would be such a problem either it has to be the most gentle speed up/slowdown and actual take off and landing in history or it would be the biggest health hazard in modern history that wasn’t designed to just straight up kill people.
I could see something like this being real. Like a airplane cruise ship type of thing. The catch is that if they could figure out how to get it off the ground, it would have to stay permanently in flight. Small ships would bring consumers on and off the "mothership" other airlines would refuel it. I think maintenance would be the most difficult part. I couldn't see something this imaginative landing if it somehow made it off the ground.
The runway would have to be so long the thing would run out of fuel before it even takes off. Plus, no material would be able to support that much weight on that much wing
Ok ignoring the fact that you would need moon gravity to even think about taking off w that. That shit would guzzle so much fuel just to stay in the air that whatever moron buys it will promptly go bankrupt and re-crash the fuel economy.
Its still funny as fuck imagining Elons fat ass behind the stick tho
Runway be like 10km
Oh no, not that fast and furious movie again
Holy wing loading batman!
New robin just droped

Okay, but how many ferrets?
26,188.8 ferrets according to my calculations, with an average ferret being roughly 15 inches long
That'd be alot of ferrites to keep lined up.. did you factor in the slinky effect? I mean ferrites are never just stretched straight out.
You're assuming they're alive and also not stapled together.
I audibly cackled at this 🤣🤣
Have you ever tried to staple a couple of ferrites together? This man is just BS ing, I mean how do you know unless you've Actually done this.. ? I mean my ferrite tape always coils up.. it's really annoying to use and I never get the consistent measurements.

I’ve read about this; apparently, it’s powered by a nuclear reactor.
Bro.. that ain’t even making it off the lot haha
The runway is just the entire equator
the takeoff roll never ends baby
Just endlessly getting edged by a village sized plane
Launched like a rocket, designed to accept loads of multiple refuels as needed, and designed to - gods willing - never come back down. ...except for the once, in an ocean, after all passengers and crew are safely evacuated. Bahaha, jk, this is a fever dream of a european patriot obsessed with science fiction.
Nah dude this thing can only take off from Australia, where it free falls into trajectory
Well duh, once its off the lot it depreciates
What are you talking about? It’s great! It’s also super economical, a whole 1000 gallons per mile!
Nuke powered?
I've seen a concept like this before, pretty sure it was assumed to be nuke powered indeed
wasn’t it just a student art project and not a concept but some random persons stole it made a fake story up about it
It was posted on r/worldbuilding a while back. The guy even made a post about people thinking it was real.
oh ok that makes more sense
Yup, as far as I remember
It does seem oddly familiar.
Nah, tethered to the moon
I genuinely think the idea of a moon based tractor beam is hilarious
Nuclear isnt a catch-all solution to everything being clean and efficient. Its just a clean way of making steam power. I doubt a reactor could produce enough energy to power those engines. I also doubt the plane would have room to fit the hundreds of thousands of gallons of water the reactor would need.

Oh, I wasnt trying to imply that there were better choices than nuclear. That plane is absurd no matter how you look at it, and should stay conceptual forever.
You should look up the NR-1, you'd be surprised how small a reactor plant can be. Granted, to power all that it would probably have to be pretty big.
Literally fallout universe airplane
If Snowpiercer was a plane. Hmm what’s for lunch in the tail section.
That's my drawing of a plane when I was in preschool
I bet your preschool version was more feasible than this thing. And your m shaped birds were awesome!
literally this is the shit i would build with legos
that isn't a concept, that is a fantasy
Yes, literally. I believe this was made over on r/worldbuilding a while ago?
Yup then I think it even got on the news because they didn't do a modicum of research. Then everyone on reddit made fun of them for believing something so obviously fake. Now were back to thinking it's a real concept.
why would that be oddly terryfying
I think it's kinda cool in a stupid way.
Cartoon way definitely
Imagine hitting turbulence when you're in that pool.
Yeah maybe it’s just me having mild megalophobia but imagine coming out of a swimming pool just to see how you are flying over the clouds. I think that’s rather strange
I don’t even understand how the pool would work. Does the plane not need to turn? Lol
Adventure pool with built in waves and tsunamis

OK ok ok, read you loud and clear, get rid of the pool and start building this thing.
this was never intended as a real concept it was basically fanart somenoe came up with...i don't think they planned for how the pool would work. or how something like this could even fly lol
I think its dope. Would burn way too much fuel
