Imagine the poor kitchen staff and especially the underpaid line cook on fry duty. Sure hope you have an onboard level 1 trauma center to treat stab wounds, amputated fingers and third degree burns.

@@VikingHaagI am currently contemplating that there would be professional,sharp deadly knives sent flying across the room into the wall killing whatever is on the other side
@@messier82acplease make a modern version of the P192 Saunders Roe Queen.
You couldn’t paint the plane because it would put a company out of business just to buy the paint
more like with some old rockets, with such a huge surface, paint alone could add some tons of weight and you'd rather spend those in any other way but painting the thing.
Exactly
Whenever I draw spaceships I always think “how long would it take to paint that”
And it would make the thing even more heavy
@@bobman36 That's actually a thing in Star Wars, one of the reasons given for why the Empire used plain grey, instead of the more elaborate colour schemes of pre-war and clone wars era ships, is that the plain grey primer was the cheapest and quickest paint job.
The guy who created the video and renders of the flying city actually made it as a world building excercise and it unexpectedly went completely viral. The guy was having an absolutely fantastic time watching the bullshit spread and the drama unfold, was quite funny to see
I saw the original post in r/worldbuilding, and then watched in terror how it spread like wildfire.
If something as benign as a silly airplane video can grow to that level, imagine the damage something deliberate, like political misinformation, can do.

I kinda want to see what it would look like next to a standard passenger jet.
Oh it completely dwarfs a regular passenger jet, I should get a full model from someone and post it in my hangar in the flyout server
You wouldn't see. The jet would be to small lol.

I wanna see it next to the AN-225.
The Spruce Goose would look like a duckling next to this, its wingspan is half this thing's length
Also, if I can get a top-down view of this thing, I will make a size comparison against other large aircraft and other stuff
@@theak1910 the AN-225 Mirya has a wingspan of around 88.4 meters and a length of 84 meters. THIS monstrosity of a plane that he just built has a length of possibly over 200 meters and a wingspan of about 220 meters. Essentially, the Skycruise is almost THREE TIMES the size of the Antonov-225 Mirya. THREE. TIMES!!! For another comparison, just ONE of the engines is larger than most Cessnas. The tail wings or fins are basically the wingspan of the AN-225. Hope that explains to you a little bit.

The fact that the Sky Cruise went from someone's test 3d model in r/worldbuilding reddit to a real project in major newsites will always be funny to me
Having an observation deck on top but not on the bottom of a plane that's 'always' in the sky seems like a massive oversight to me. The original drawing does have some cupola looking things on the side, but even that isn't cutting it. Being able to look directly down on all the mountains, lakes and cities you're flying over would be the main reason to have something like this.
Of course it's an oversight. If it was on the bottom, it would be an undersight.
*tudumpsh*
@@fmobusand you're about to have nosight *pulls out laser*
lolol best comment and @@fmobus's is great too! It would make a great platform for the largest telescope ever built, but it's not an observation deck.
Well the solution is to flip the aircraft upside dow whenever someone wants to look below.
What could possibly go wrong after all
Funny thing is that the original render isnt even real, its just a model someone made for fun and then sites started using it because they didnt have an idea for a clickbait article
As a mechanical engineer, I instantly fell in love with your channel. I can't wait for the release
Same. I love the look of this game and love the guys channel
Thank you! I am super glad for the support from everyone. Haven't met a supporter who isn't super cool so far :)
@messier82ac no problem man. The first video I saw of yours got recommended to me. Was your chat gpt "can ai build a jet" just under a month ago. Seen every video since and subbed. This game does look real cool. Such a shame it's only got 1 dev to my knowledge. And been in development for 6 years. But for 1 dev, they've done a fantastic job
As somebody who wants to do mechanical engineering I also fell in love with this channel
Honestly a unique aircraft needs a name beyond its concept idea, i recomend either The Ouranos or Atlas liner for its titanic size and relation to the sky
maybe something like "The Everclear" as in always flying in the clear sky.
Or skygate
Call it titanic 2 lmao
@@lazzacsthe skygate scandal…
@@lazzacs A project of this magnitude is bound to be riddled with controversy, might as well get it out of the way with the name.
THIS IS A FULL UP RIGHT DIRECTION FOR YOU! Directly starting with the build encaptures attention, so anyone who clicks on this would continue watching, Best video yet!👍 I loved it!
If there were a peaceful flight simulator akin to MS Flight Sim set in the world of Ace Combat, this would be exactly the kind of aircraft I'd expect to see in it.
Hresvelgr passenger edition???
Civilian B-52s, C-5s. The an-225 would be in active production. Flying boats would still be a thing.

Kinda interested if we can make in this game airships from Project Wingman now (just like their overall concept even as "Aerial cruise ship" more that this)
Look up the box wing design. In fact, it's possible the double wing design you see in that game could be the next evolution in civil aviation.
Due to the fact that on the flyout discord there is a lot of helicopters is the weekly build submissions and the only other things on it are from these videos, I think M-82's next vid will be about helicopters.
Helicopter rotors got added less than a week ago

I like how youtube thinks that flyout is x plane 11.
i like how youtube just doesnt know what flyout is and just panics and throws in either Ksp, war thunder or x plane 11
In his more recent videos, RUclips now does know about Flyout, but thinks it's a game from 2007. 💀
i suppose, with the pool, you could dual purpose the water to circulate through the shields to both act as a neutron attenuator and to sterilize the pool water, and if you just physically filtered it, you could probably get away with no chlorine too.
If youre going to bring the weight along, put it to use.
A blended wing design makes much more sense for this imo.
The wing loading would be astronomical. But if we are designing this, I think adding more dihedral would help make this sky boat have a turning circle somewhat less than the distance between Dallas and Fort worth.
Now the actual illustration made for this beast was interesting to look at already, but whatever you conjured up looks ever BETTER! I welcome our new skycruise plane overlord that you've designed. It looks magnificent! ^^
Amazing vid, keep up the great work!
Also forgot to mention how loud nuclear engines are. They would literally blast all windows in every airport
Now you should make a Aerial Aircraft Carrier, big, expensive, shitty, and very fun (engineers not included in the fun).
Also, wouldn't be a better idea to use eletric turbines, powered by a nuclear reactor?

the saddest part is some new outlets are saying that "oh germans are thinking of building this plane in like 20 years1!111!" but we all know that its just a picture an artist made to look cyberpunk
Great job! Really appreciate such a good content in our small community
I love this design, a good job well done mate.
What an amazing looking monstrosity :D I'm in love! I can't wait for this game to come out - always wanted to tinker around airplane designs :)

Always happy when you upload!!
Pool on the plane:😄
Turbulence:🌚
I'm just glad you made it so the landing gear actually retracts
The concept art was never meant to be real, it's just a drawing, but the media thought it could be real and that it's a real concept for a flying ship.
this chad single-handedly carried a game that nobody knows from a well known game
I have seen a few plane designs with observation decks, but they are always on the top of the plane. I've always thought it'd be a bit cooler if they were on the bottom so you could see the ground below you as you flew over the world. Maybe even a small area with a thick glass bottom so you can stand on it and look down at your feet.
I can’t think of a single customer for such a concept. At best you wont’t notice you’re flying, but then there’s the downside of not being able to get outside.
Just an infinitely more expensive and worse resort.
This thing would be a good setting for a 70's style disaster movie...
One thing I felt should've changed from the beginning is that the design used was akin to something like a 747. The better way to go about this would have been to use a blended wing design, which would help to maximize lift and effenciency while also providing a huge amount more space to allow facilities you'd expect to find on a cruise ship, among other things. It'd also allow it to cruise at lower speeds which would enable passengers to enjoy the onboard entertainment for a longer duration of a trip.
i would definitely go on one of these, if it was stable
tbh, if you think about it, we totally could have feasible flying cruise ships in the form of airships like blimps and zeppelins. It's just a matter of easing people's fears of it catching on fire and blowing up.
now the real question, how good would it be if converted into an Airborne warning and Control System Aircraft?
6 terawatt radar, melts anything that gets within 300 miles of it
Would certainly be a powerful airborne radar platform that'd be for sure.
Talk about a big freaking target though.
It would make an AEGIS destroyer look like a nearsighted naked mole-rat. lol
"This thing literally weighed as much as the average skyscraper. The difference is this thing had wings and wheels and jet engines."
Meanwhile in an alternate timeline:
the world trade center is in the sky and its coming for you
*"TARGET SPOTTED, BALLISTIC SKYSCRAPER INBOUND."*
Oh how tables have turned
Have you ever watched a 90’s cartoon called Talespin? If you want to use nuclear energy, wouldn’t a reactor generating electricity that would power electric turbofans be a more efficient design? That way you wouldn’t need the ducting from reactor to wings just some heavy duty conductors. An ekranoplan might deal with the weights and offer a lot more places to land and better a nuclear reactor crashes in the ocean than on takeoff or landing at a terrestrial runway. Love the video, your wing design is very up to date or I guess near futuristic!
A note, the pic shown in the intro isn't actually supposed to be real, or accurate, and is simply just Scifi art that someone made. It was just used for clickbait by big media.
Btw, great video! The build turned out very nice looking!
Love your videos! But could u maybe do a landing with these great aircrafts? that would be a fullfilling ending :)
I like that you De-Janked what is escentialy a "Meme_Plane" :D
it's undestandable and somewhat educational about the challenges of aircraft design . . but at the same time it's also kinda funny . . even whan redesigned , this is still rudiculous design . that's worthy of it's own meme
The observation deck belongs on the belly of the plane, there's more to look at down there.
It honestly might make more sense to make this a dedicated seaplane. 3000 tons is a hell of a lot for a ground vehicle, and unless you're making the entire bottom out of wheels then you're never spreading out the ground pressure enough to not just destroy whatever runway you land on... and even if you did do that... your odds still ain't great. Stopping is an issue too.
On the other hand, 3000 tons is a perfectly normal, and if anything somewhat light weight for an oceangoing vessel. You won't have to worry about destroying the runway, nor about stopping or having enough runway to take back off.
3000 tons also seems a bit light, I think you might have vastly underestimated how much the nuclear engines would weigh. But I'm not a nuclear engineer, so don't take my word for it.
the pool when there is air turbulence
Give this guy the lead concept engineer position at Boeing IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!
Great work, i would love to see some huge ace combat inspired stuff, like a flying wing aircraft carrier.
What a cool looking game. It seems right up my alley. Great graphics too. Hopefully it's well optimized.
It's a relief to see this becoming sleeker than the _thing_ shown at the beginning! That was an uncreative monstrosity which looked like it flies by bludgeoning its way through the air with sheer raw power! But the finished plane turned out very nicely indeed. :) ... Where can a book tickets? :D
The "monstrosity" is, I think, the largest airplane concept I've ever seen, but seeing it brought back to mind another huge flying cruise ship; a design made in the 40s or 50s by a real, if highly creative, aircraft engineer. It was mostly (but not entirely) an enormous flying wing with 2 decks in the center of the wing, a bridge above the wing and an incredible pair of bulbous, many-decked fuselages below. 1 of the wing decks extended to each edge, featuring observation lounges at both ends, but they didn't have such huge glass domes; merely large windows for the 40s. I apologise for the lack of a name; search engines, youtube, Wikipedia and my own notes have all, surprisingly, failed me.
what if its unpressurized and flys at no more than 10k ft? solves the glass issue also would have a lower speed by necessity reducing engine size and forces on the wings. do flying boats work in flyout? it might be easier to take this to existing cruise ship ports since those are destination anyway
very nice indeed - only ding is that the rapid rotations are more disorienting than a fully developed spin ;-)
Doing a flyby on the ATC tower with this must be awesome LMAO
Always thought a rigid airship/aircraft hybrid could make for a good sky cruise liner concept. Huge, with an airport and a few observation decks up top, cabins and amenities below..
Helium offsetting half to 2/3's the weight, the rest through aerodynamic lift. Perhaps driven with solid state, electric, ion propulsion. And of course, the entire ship would be amphibious, so that it could land in the ocean if need be.
So, another vid, I’m American so when this was posted was 2 am, but, another great vid!
-pools
-45 degrees rotation
reminded me of that scene from passengers with 0g in pool
a pool in a plane, what a great idea! :D
I remember seeing that giant aircraft before, it was in r/wordbuilding, the creator wanted to test out some silly concept art of a nuclear powered sky cruise, and as he was busy with other projects at that time he didn't really rig the aircraft to function
I love your ideas for traditional nuclear powered aircraft. But what would an aircraft powered by nuclear fusion look like? Nuclear fusion has been making headway in the science industry, and has capability to put off way more power and basically last forever aside from parts because no radiation half life. Not nearly as heavy either (theoretically because the one we’re building in france is massive but will theoretically put off more power than a traditional reactor of that size)
I was just thinking about this thing holy
Imagine how much you’d have to pay those pilots because the aircraft is so unique and you would have to train them for take off landing docking and emergency procedures.
i think one of the small changes of your design could be the change of the conventional vertical stabilizer (the giant "fin" of the aircraft), to an twin tail (like used in the an 225) or even multiple ones (like in the e2 hawkeye), since their function is to improve maneurability while maintaining a smaller size, wich in return, make it easier to maintain or even store the aircraft in an hangar (wich one idk lmao)
other than that, your design is incredible! While you tried to maintain some aspects of the original version, you streamlined it to become more possible (unfortunely both designs would have to use completely new materials to even fly without landing due to maintaince in order to avoid corrosion, and other problems)
tldr: great improvement (althought it would be ineffective anyways due to anti-corrosion maintaince), and you could add a twin or more tail design
fun fact: flying carriers actually did exist, however, it was used in zeppelins and bombers, with the idea abandoned due to the dangers of "landing" on a mother ship, althought there are projects of parasite drones
Had a question, wouldn't engines be safer closer to the wing/fuselage junction as opposed to further out? lol, I know this is a joke aircraft but just asking for your opinion.
I wonder if it is or will be possible in the game to design airborne aircraft carriers like the Aigaion from Ace Combat 6 or the Banshees from Yukikaze.
I'd hate to feel the turbulence on the plane flying behind this XD
Investing in this video before it blows up
That looks MUCH better than the original design. The original looked like it would start spinning if you even dared to pitch up lol
What is the website you to make airplanes?
Can we get a full clip of the takeoff and landing?
Actually I quite like the Areal cruise ship plane, not the actual thing but the metaphor behind it. The whole idea is a fake concept created by someone on reddit, for a subreddit called r/worldbuilding. It was never meant to be real, this was just something that they worked on for fun or for a school project. However people began doing what they do best by spreading misinformation about the plane to wherever they could. Somehow a couple major news outlets saw these posts online about this plane being a "real concept", didn't look into it any further, and made news stories about the damn thing.
something else with the observation deck is that i think in the 3d render they made for it the windows are very tall and square
so how strong is this when you need to keep standard air pressure while above/in the northern lights
im sure it would shatter all the large panes if they were not strong not to mention being not areodynamic as having no sharp wind facing edges increasing pressure on that disk
Honestly I think a flying wing would be the best design for something this huge
bro you deserve more likes
Hey man, as a KSP player this game looks so fucking cool and I can't wait to try it out. Good work!
Thank you! It's a very enjoyable game, and as an over 2k hour KSP player, it fills in the niche of aviation building far better. Although for rockets, I still love playing KSP from time to time! Currently making a video on a 300 ton Laythe spaceplane.
Something to note: The game is in fact in early access, and lacks a lot of features at the moment, but the dev is hard at work!
Proof that actual sky cruises will be slow moving Zeppelins
Dang most pilots operate well over the recomended radiation limit/year, imagin having to sleep there to boot, honestly the nuclear motors is probablly the safest part of flying for such prolonged timeframes.
Lovely and crazy
from what ive found nuclear engines have limited power so you cant have both payload and shielding. this could be solved by putting the engine directly inline and use shadow shielding to block the line of sight. boarding would be tricky since you have to stay within the narrow cone of safety and the taxiway would become increasingly more radioactive as the unshielded reactor sprays neutrons all over it.
one major flaw with the flying cruise ship idea, is that turbulence exists
Something this large and heavy likely would not be able to launch or land from any airfield or airport both due to it's size and weight. Making it a flying boat would probably be the only way it could work.
Everything about this concept makes me think of that quote from Jurassic Park about 'spending so much time worrying if you could, that you never stopped to think about if you should...' Don't get me wrong, seeing such a ludicrous design in a game or in fiction's fun, but the idea someone might be mad enough to think about building it in real life makes me sad, truth be told. It would be such a waste to see so much get poured into essentially a vanity project (assuming it works of course).
Also where would the reactors for the nuclear engines be located? Because if they're in the engine pods, that raises a huge number of issues. Heck, if it's one big one in the fuselage, that also raises a huge number of (somewhat different) issues.
Its anot a real plane the plane comes from a scifi reddit post and people tought it was real
The amount of radiation you'd get from being up high for that long alone oof
Bro, I wonder how well you could integrate the observation deck into the t-tail? Thicken it up a bit and add windows in the leading edges? Id b one of the people to go up there just to see the whole plane lol.
I actually had a similar concept a few years ago a luxury airship that functions like a cruise ship or airborne hotel
Imagine the ammount of ice that would form on the wings
Clear the ice and send it to the polar caps to refurbish them!
What does the Toe setting do?
what about a massive flying wing or blended body design, would that wotk better?
technically speaking, a sky cruise ship was already done, See the example of the H4 Hercules a massive flying boat.
Honestly, it would probably work better as a flying boat. Trying to find a runway big enough for this thing to slow down much less launch let alone landing gear capable of supporting this behemoth would be almost impossible.
On the other hand, a flying boat design means the weight is distributed across the entire surface of the ventral surface of the plane while large bodies of water would be more available. The plane would be heavier from needing to reinforce the structure for a water landing but I think it would still be a better option than trying to find/build and maintain runways around the world to land this monster on.
Plus it also adds the attraction of being able to take passengers to popular water-accessible tourist spots. The Bahamas today, tomorrow Venice and the Mediterranean and then on to Okinawa.
Can it land tho? What's the length of the runway it took to get up?
Takes about 2.8km of runway to get off the ground, takes about 2.5 to land
Can a video be “can chat got design a close air support aircraft”
Imagine flying this big boy into the one world trade centre 😍
Imagine actually landing it though, it would take HOURS to get this thing on the ground safely, everyone would have to sit on seats.
You can probably launch moon mission rocket from this thing
I don’t know how no one mentioned the pool would be unusable unless flying directly straight as turning would cause it to spill everywhere (unless there’s some fancy aerodynamics stuff idk about)
If it's only job is to sightsee and stay airborne, you could sacrifice speed to get better field performance. No wing sweep, heck biplane or tandem wing so long as that doesn't cost lift/drag ratio at loiter speeds, and such designs might be structurally easier. Or even blended wing, though that'd be tough build in game. You could also forgo pressurisation and have bigger windows since sightseeing is better at lower levels, but this means you cant fly over bad weather or mountains. Compromise, have a cylindrical pressurized part which passengers must retreat to on such occasions ?
