Airship Traveling – Five-Star Flying Hotel by Thomas Rodemeier
Vacation in a five-star hotel is a luxury in itself, but if you get it in the air, you can’t expect more than that. The “Airship Traveling” by designer Thomas Rodemeier is a five-star mobile hotel that presents a closed loop system in the shape of an airship, allowing optimum comfort and flexibility. Providing both the aerial as well as grounded vacation, the airship uses lifting gas to keep the dome aloft and deploys a telescopic anchor-foot for landing. The airship exchanges helium with oxygen for a longer stay in the air. In addition, the Airship Traveling harnesses solar energy using an array of solar panels on its roof to fulfill its energy requirements, ensuring a sustainable retreat in utmost luxury.

Around the world in Sunship. A solar powered airship!
Here I wonder how can I get to my work (daily) or that far away beach resort for a relaxing weekend without pinching my car-fuel budget. With an array of alternative energy options in market or still in conceptual stage, I still am not too confident to switch over for those green options. But these folks at Solar Flight are oozing with green confidence and are moving much ahead of all of us. Intending to be the first to circumnavigate the globe by solar power, they are inspired by airships from the past that were safely capable of flying long distances with limited power plants. Dubbed as Sunship, it is designed to be as small as possible, but large enough to cross the Atlantic and Pacific oceans!
