2 Mark: No it’s not.  It is proposed that the Aircruise will be a huge kite-shaped airship.  It will fly at 12,000 feet, but it would be able to fly at just a few hundred feet above the ground if there was something interesting to see on the ground. Interviewer: It sounds like a sort of luxurious hot air balloon. Mark: Well the plan is that it will be powered, not by hot air, but another type of air.  Hydrogen.  Hydrogen is capable of lifting weights of 1.2 kg per cubic metre, and you can also use hydrogen fuel to provide on-board power and drinking water.  With hydrogen as the fuel, you’d be able to reach speeds of around ninety miles per hour.  It would be pollution free, and what’s more, it’d be completely silent! Interviewer: It reminds me of those airships they had back in the 1930s. Mark: Zeppelins Interviewer: That’s right.  Weren’t they very dangerous? Mark: They were rather, and after the famous Hindenburg disaster, in May 1937 which killed 35 of the 97 people on board.  But technology has moved on a good deal since then, and scientists are looking at ways that we can create transport options that are more sustainable and kinder to the environment. Interviewer: So you mentioned that this Aircruise was going to be a luxurious form of transport.  Why is that?  What sort of luxuries can a passenger expect? Mark: Well, first of all it won’t be full of people.  One Aircruise ship will carry just 100 people.  There’ll also be plenty of staff to attend to your every need.  They’re estimating that there’ll be one crew member for every five people!  Thirdly, you won’t be pinned in your seat for the entire journey.  You’ll be able to walk around.  There’s to be a bar, private apartments and even a glass floor so that you can see the view beneath your feet! Interviewer: Gosh, I don’t know if I fancy that! Mark: No, me neither! Interviewer: And would these airships depart from airports? Mark: No, I think that would be very dangerous!  No, the plan is that they would build special landing pads.  Compared to airports, these are much smaller, so the airships would be able to land much closer to urban centres. Interviewer: So, this Aircruise idea.  Is it just an idea, or is it actually going into production? Mark: Well, that’s hard to say at this stage, but the company is certainly gaining a lot of attention.  One of the major Korean electrical goods companies is showing a lot of interest and providing some funding.  So there is some talk that this dream could be realised in as little as five years’ time. Interviewer: So in the future we’ll all be gliding slowly to our holiday destinations, while drinking beers at the bar then? Mark: You will if you can afford it!  I don’t expect that these new airships will be cheap! Interviewer: Well, thank you very much, Mark Baker.  Now it’s time for ...
