Is there an aircraft anywhere in theworld with a swimming pool on board?

Answer 1

No it is impracticable to have a swimming pool in an aircraft. First: there is the gravity concern how to keep the water in during hard turns etc. Second: there is the safety concern, spillage of such a volume of water inside an airborne plane would be a disaster both in term of soaking the aircraft's sensitive inside with its easily damagable materials that would rust and the components that would stop functioning and the electrical shorts etc. and the changing of the center of gravity which would render the plan uncontrollable. I am sure these two problems can be addressed by specially designing a swimming pool with an anti-spillage measure of some kind, should the necessity arise but;Third: there is the common sense aspect, water is heavy and why on earth would you waste all the energy and resources hauling tons of water about just so someone can have a dip while airborne? it doesn't make sense.

Answer 2

Plane With Swimming Pool

Answer 3

It is not likely that a swimming pool would be allowed onboard an airplane because of a phenomenon called "free surface effect". Pick up a cookie pan full of water. Notice how when one side is slightly higher than the other, all the water rushes the other side. Now imagine that taking place on board an airplane. This would cause problems with trim, stabilty, weight, and balance. That is, of course, unless it were a very small pool, such as a jacuzzi or something. Ships have to deal with this in their trim and stability calculations.

Answer 4

In addition to the stability problems mentioned above, the weight penalty is extremely prohibitive in fuel consumption. Also the aircraft structure would have to be modified to handle the additional loads.

Another example of the stability problem: Classic case of passenger ferry with forward door unlatched. car deck filled with water and the side to side movement capsized the boat. Same thing would happen to the airplane.

Answer 5

haha that would be AWESOME!!!
everyone will laugh at your question, but its not too farfetched!
did you hear about the new jets they are making, that can seat about 800 people! They have bars, beds, and sort of like clubs on board! its awesome! But they are not expected to be released for another couple of years. that would be so cool to have a pool. google around for these planes (sorry i forget what they're called, but i know they exist!!!!)
hope this helps ! lol :)


"Initial publicity stressed the comfort and space of the A380's cabin, which offers room for such installations as relaxation areas, bars, duty-free shops, and beauty salons. One A380 customer likely to use innovative amenities is Virgin Atlantic Airways, which has a bar in Business Class on its aircraft, and has announced plans to include casinos, double beds, a gymnasium and showers on its A380s."

Answer 6

What? Are you insane? The water would slosh about on take off, landing and in turbulence, and the extra weight would be stupid.

The water sloshing about would upset the aircraft's centre of gravity, which is essential for a safe flight!

Answer 7

Yes all those cargo planes that carry tropical fish around the world, headed for aquariums.

It is a pool, and there is definitely swimming going on!

Answer 8

1

Answer 9

Its not possible because when the plane is climbing all the water would run to one end of the pool .

Answer 10

If you dived in from the springboard as the aircraft was descending you would bang your head on the roof
