AEROS The Aeroscraft ML866 is a prototype for future cargo vehicles that could have a payload of up to 60 tonnes |
It’s been 70 years since the famous Hindenburg airship disaster, and the aeronautics industry is finally looking at dirigible style airships again, as a viable means of transporting goods and passengers.
While not as speedy as an airplane, the dirigible needs no landing strip and has a much smaller carbon-footprint, making it great for short trips, or trips to otherwise unservable areas.
Just imagine a city-wide mass transportation system based on dirigibles instead of buses or trains. Imagine, instead of a house-boat, wealthy folk could get themselves a house-dirigible.
