Soon, climb up onto huge inflatable cloud and float to your destination!

A New York artist has come up with a unique concept of ‘Passing Cloud’, which could redefine the future of transportation and travelling.

Rather than commuting by planes or trains, travellers would float to their destinations on top of a giant inflatable cloud riding on prevailing winds.

Tiago Barros’ project ‘Passing Cloud' was an entry in the US competition on the future of high-speed railways.

Barros has asserted that the concept would offer a unique journey and question the need for speed while travelling.

“Nowadays, everything is set and everyone is always running around,” the Herald Sun quoted him as saying.

“It is time to reconsider the act of travelling and start enjoying it accordingly,” he added.

The zeppelins of yesteryear inspired Barros to propose this intriguing design, which features heavyweight high-tensile nylon balloons with a stainless steel framework inside.

The concept states that the passengers would climb up to the ‘cloud’ on ladders, sit on top while it moves and then get off wherever it landed, with no guarantee of destination or arrival time.
