Zeppelins seem to be the latest craze these days as another design company has come up with a flying blimp that houses a hotel with luxury suites for 60. Called the Manned Cloud, this concept by French designer Jean Marie Massaud, whose company, Massaud Studio partnered ONERA, France’s National Aerospace Research Center, for this project. Its creator claims that the giant airship is capable of flying at 280 km/h, which means that its passengers would be able to circle the Earth in 3 days. 

As with the Strato Cruiser Airship which we featured in October this year, such design concepts are always going to be popular, and the eco-friendly tag that this massive airship touts just pushes the interest up by several notches. But we’ll have to wait till next year to see if this project ever reaches fruition.
