Comment on The world's largest aircraft breaks cover in Silicon Valley
BassTurd@lemmy.world 7 months agoThe article says it can carry about 4 tons of cargo on top of the requirements to run the thing, but that’s for Pathfinder 1. I’m trying to think of an actual real world use case for these. Outside of tours that carry around 50 adult passengers with no belongings, I don’t see the practicality of it.

It’s completely impractical, which is why they’ll inevitably transition to luxury travel for millionaires. It’s faster than a yacht, but slower than a private jet, so it’s only useful roll is in carrying rich bastards to vacations that they aren’t in a rush to get to.

The equivalent of a cruise ship, that’s really the only market. Except with a much lower passenger count and a lot less space, so a much higher ticket price.
