A Fine Ship: Manned Cloud, “Explore the World without a Trace”


We’d gladly exchange a lowly domicile on the filthy earth with a gliding palace in the skies.

Manned Cloud …Jointly developed by Jean-Marie Massaud and French national aerospace research body ONERA.

Manned Cloud is a hotel with a capacity of 40 passengers and staffed with 15 persons, that on a 3-day cruise in 170 km/h permits man to explore the world without a trace: to re-experience travelling, timelessness and enhance the consciousness of the beauty of the world – and to experience spectacular and exotic places without being intrusive or exploitative. For me this project sums up a way of thinking that is the stake of tomorrow.
