Aeros Airships
When I was a kid, I had a certain vision of the future. To date, reality has only fulfilled about 25% of that vision. Where are our flying cars? Where is our unified world government? Where are the giant airships that making flying around cities a sightseeing adventure?
It seems the light gliders of yesteryear are on their way back and with current advances in technology, they're safer, faster, quieter and much more ecologically sound.
The Aeros company wants to make their airships available for commercial use on short range trips. They can fly at over 150 knots while expending far less fuel and provide a smoother ride for those that get air sick. The luxury liners can make that trip from Los Angeles to Vegas feel like you just spent the last hour in a posh hotel rather then locked down in an uncomfortable seat surrounded by strangers.
I'm pretty much sold and would like to know how much a ticket would cost.

These things cost as much to design and build as any aircraft project. There have been very few of those for a long while. This is akin to flying a kite.

I'd love to see the airships come back. In their day they were the most cost efficient and gave a smoother ride than any means of travel we have even today.
The Hindenburg was the ONLY airship ever to catch fire before crashing to earth. It enjoyed a full year of regular trips from Germany to Rio de Janiero without incedent. And carried many satisfied passengers.
Sadly the Germans had to use Hydrogen gas because the States was not prepared to sell them the safe non flammable gas that dirigibles use today.
Airships were used successfully in the first world war because they could fly higher and quieter than the airplanes of that time.
There are just so many advantages and with all our technical advancements and history, I would love to see this.
