SpecificationsThe Aircruise would be a solar and hydrogen fuel cell-powered airship.[4] According to its design specifications, it would be {{convert|265|m|abbr=on}} tall containing {{convert|330000|m3|abbr=on}} of air and would carry a payload of {{convert|396|t|abbr=on}}. It was "designed" to carry about 100 passengers with a flight crew of 6, 2 of whom are flight engineers, and another 14 supporting staff to look after passengers,[5] for a total of 20 crew.[6] It would have glass floors for passengers to view the land and sea beneath.[7] Its land speed would depend on the wind, but it would supposedly be capable of traveling at {{convert|100|to|150|km/h|abbr=on}},[5] in calm conditions, sufficient to travel from London to New York in 37 hours and from Los Angeles to Hong Kong[4] or Shanghai[6] in 4 days. Its maximum altitude was {{convert|12000|ft|abbr=on}}, and it was "specified" that it could fly at an altitude of about 300 feet for sightseeing.[6] Critical responseThe Aircruise concept received generally favourable criticism, much to the embarrassment of reporters when the hoax was revealed. For example, The Daily Telegraph stated that it could herald a new era of luxury travel.[8] Coverage in The Scotsman welcomed it as attractive for its environmental friendliness.[9] Eco friendOrdinary cruise ships release 3 times as much greenhouse gas as a Boeing 747 per passenger and 36 times as much as the Eurostar.[1] The Aircruise was thus claimed to be an eco friendly alternative, with its zero emission design.[1][4] References1. ^1 2 3 {{Cite web |url=http://cleantech.com/news/5596/seymourpowell-unveils-eco-friendly |title=Seymourpowell unveils eco-friendly Aircruise design |access-date=2010-02-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100205070213/http://cleantech.com/news/5596/seymourpowell-unveils-eco-friendly |archive-date=2010-02-05 |dead-url=yes |df= }} 2. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.seymourpowell.com/aircruise/aircruise-press-release.html |title=Seymourpowell introduces the Aircruise - a clipper in the clouds |access-date=2010-02-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100206110817/http://www.seymourpowell.com/aircruise/aircruise-press-release.html |archive-date=2010-02-06 |dead-url=yes |df= }} 3. ^ 4. ^1 2 The Aircruise: A Sustainable and Luxurious Way to Travel 5. ^1 News Australia 6. ^1 2 Flying to New York?
