If you watch just about any SciFi movie or TV series, or read any book where the Nazis won in World War 11 as historical fact, then you will most likely have seen an airship! They seem to be the stuff alternate time lines are made of, with movies like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and books like Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials both preferring airships, zeppelins or dirigible to your good old fashioned airplane.
So in a carbon conscious world where doing something for the environment is critical, it makes sense that airships are once again being talked about.
The two-football-fields-long concept Aeroscraft pictured above is not a Blimp. Think of it as a flying "Queen Mary 2" that will ferry pampered passengers across continents and oceans as they stroll leisurely about the one-acre cabin or relax in well-appointed staterooms.
Unlike its dirigible ancestors, the Aeroscraft is not lighter than air
