An Age of Magic

Thunderbirds are go!

Ever wanted to be a real Thunderbird? maybe it would be a bit weird after all they were wooden puppets if you remember. However, you will one day be able to take a ride around the world in an airship called Thunderbird 2. 700 ft long it is going to gently float around the globe in the sky ( of course ) and travellers will be able to go along for the ride.

The airship is a floating hotel called the Manned Cloud, and - according to its designers - it will be capable of circling the globe in a few days. The 20 bedrooms will provide the ultimate room with a view as the airship cruises at a height of 18,000ft.  It has a restaurant, a library, a lounge and a gym on the first deck.

On the second level there will be 20 passenger rooms, terraces with panoramic windows, a spa and a bar room. The airship is powered by a giant rear propeller and also has two further engines pointing downwards for vertical take-off.

However, if you’re thinking of checking in, you will have to wait until its expected launch date of 2020. Oh well, I guess considering the cost of those tickets we will all need until then to save up!
