Why the Airship May Be the Future of Air Travel

I hate to say it but it seems every year there's some new way to travel and combat climate change but it never gets past the idea because of someone or something is making a hell of a lot of money too much money

You will never get a good speed with airships nor a comparable carrying capacity but they can be like an flying cruise ships. Not for quickly going from A to B but a leisurely aerial cruise, sightseeing across a continent and such

maybe faster than trains, no way they can be as fast as planes.

Man they look so Cool. Looks like a floating Spaceship.

I designed an airship just like the opening pic of this video when I was 14 years old (70 now). Pool, tennis courts, and all the rest . . . glad to see the world catching up LOL.

Correction: "Consume less than 10% of a helicopters fuel". You forgot to mention that it's less than 10% of a helicopters fuel per ton!

I can't see how the wind problem ever can be solved. The engines will always be too weak relative to the draft. Even if the airship could face as strong wind, it would not be able to catch up, or even stay in the same position over ground. It would be thrown around like a fly in a vacuum cleaner. Even an emergency dive into a landing would not remove the problem.

Its clearly meant for the elons of the world at $80,000 a seat. TRASH COMPANIES

I REFUSE the CARBON selling propaganda. I will not PAY private companies carbon TAXES ('credits').

Cargo shipping and Humanitarian Aid

A ticket on the Hindenburg would cost you $160,000 today, almost twice as much as the Airliner10.

The repeating grift of airships.

im interested in the comeback of air ships. but this might not be feasible with Helium supply. Helium is a natural gas that has been rising in cost every year. In fact users of Helium have been looking for a replacement gas. (Scuba Technical Diving) ..

And the pony express is the future of mail delivery

No it won't , never will be. It has to be to big and is to much effected by wind.

@Kia , More Airship Well .

Promises promises....never happens...

nearly all airships (not just ones in accidents) were destroyed because of bad weather, wind shear can literally rip them in half. i'm not holding my breath on them coming back

So, if we don’t actually care about the whole emissions/global warming hoax, these don’t hold any value?! I think they have some real value, even if we are looking at the facts.

Bored

I would see it as a fad nothing more. It is too slow for every day travel, just like trains which is why they don't work in the U.S. They could in theory make it work for shipping and sightseeing type things, but regular travel. No I doubt it. 5 days to Europe, people don't have that time for the most part.

One qubic meter of helium to lift one kilogram of mass. You want to put a swimming pool onboard? Hahaha! Please tell me Greta Thunberg is behind this.

Not again. We had already had a modern airship with plasma propulsion that crashed and traumatized humanity.

If we are going to take climate change seriously! Then we need back the airships! If they what they say they are then they will need support

read Los Alamos National Laboratory's work described in US patent 11027816 - VLTAS - Vacuum Lighter Than Air Structure

Considering they could use nitrogen which is slightly lighter than AIR in combination with hydrogen amonia fuel cells , using additional byproduct nitrogen being push throug structure via specialized gas heat pumps that also use as turbine on airship in closed loop where nitrogen is heated and expanded same way AIR expand in tires , gas is going through structures and being compressed by pumps and heated as result Bonds between nitrogen becomes stronger and stronger ( just my personal observation )

People who are buying airships today don't give a damn about carbon emissions, they are buying them for a luxury yacht in the sky. They are being designed with the utmost opulence for comfort and luxury, not for mass transit or trying to get somewhere in a hurry. The difference between an airship and a naval ship is the airship can go anywhere, the naval ship can only go where the water goes.

📍I have a lot of information and innovative insights to share. However, I intend to save those revelations for the future; and gifting them to future, [non-western] super power nations. I intend to give them the intellectual advantage. I grew up suffering western narcissism... I do not intend to fuel it ("white" kids and adult thinking that white people invented everything. The european kids and adults [individuals] would often speak as if they were directly responsible for those feats; while condescendingly talking down to me— a POC. Case in point, putting man on the moon,🙄😒).

The top 3 future super powers will not be western. The USA need not apply.

Conventional airship cargo-carriers experience instability issues when loading and offloading cargo. The instability in buoyancy (levels); created by the fluctuating mass of the cargo, as well as unstable air-currents (especially at higher altitude), makes conventional designs for airship cargo-carriers inefficient, unstable and potentially unsafe... when compared to alternative modes of cargo transportation vessels, e.g. conventional cargo-ships that travel via a body of water/sea.

When all is said and done... I have come to realize that the technology should be paired with 'vertical', cargo-transport carries, i.e. [droned] helicopters. Helicopter technology should be incorporated with Ai; so that the drones will be outfitted with cargo (of specific weight/mass). With their proven prowess in vertical takeoff, they will be utilized to safely mount cargo on a giant airship (said cargo will [obviously] need to be spaced/tired-down and stationed relative to each other. Inspiration from the hexagon shape should aid the intended 'fair and even [weight] distribution' of mass, across the storage site within the airship). Like an orchestra, when coordinated, the swarms of vertical [helicopter] drones (coordinated & assisted Ai; will take the shape and form of a 'helicopter', for its vertical functionality... they will double and function as integral, and additional transportation-carriers) will 'double and function' as 'construction-pulleys'; in their purpose in safely and relatively steadily mounting cargo onto the large storage site (that will be situated on top of the airship. I envision a small, but functional runway built on the surface of the airship. It is in this additional, supportive function that the airship will resemble an "aircraft carrier, battle ship"). New and emerging technologies will facilitate this mode if cargo transportation.

NOTE: When all is said and done... When we take a step back, and observe the construct in action, its coordinated functionalities and mechanisms will resemble the (relationship and transport mechanism) 'worker-bees and their beehive'. Through further research and development of the quantum mechanics; that is at play, and is responsible for buoyancy (its essence is [efficient] mass/weight-distribution within a [specified] medium volume)... It will be possible to reroute/engineer buoyancy (how lighter than air gas behave), i.e. how mass is distributed within a specified [enclosed] medium-volume/volume of a specified medium.

REMEMBER: that buoyancy takes the path with the least resistance. Point is, if you can manipulate/[quantum] engineer how lighter-than-air gases behave, you will have an easier time using Ai to coordinate their behaviour (with greater efficiency and precision, e.g. making lighter-than-air gases even lighter; manipulating their mass at the quantum scale). Were such endeavours researched, developed and refined to an art, then what we will be left with are the components to anti-gravity technology and [quantum] know-how.

NOTE: There was a successful scientific experiment; where Rubidium was used to give additional mass to the photon. This resulted in slowing down the photo. The experiment supported the feasibility of hard-light technology. The essence of the experiment was that the mass of subatomic particles could be altered/manipulated to bare desirable outcomes. That research should have been concocted with quantum mechanics in mind. Engineering at the quantum scale is exciting and bares monumental possibilities.

ore $$ for Sergei Brin :Brin has been involved in LTA Research since 2016, and he has reportedly spent more than $250 million on the project. since 99% of us dont have a spare $250million...

Lol ~ Climate Change is a scam .... But "Go~on" tell us about Air Ships

Why the Airship May Be the Future of Air Travel........

Just one small problem, the envelope containing the gas needs to be 80 times bigger than the passenger compartment to be able to defeat gravity, a picture is just that.

not enough helium because gypsy rose blanchard using it all to keep her high pitched helium voice going so she can irritate me lol

so i have not seen this waste flying around you claimed it is already started back in 2022 but now it is 2024 someone take a needle and pop it !

What about putting cyclorotors all along the sides of them? That way they could possibly get a little extra speed or maneuverability, besides being able to easily land.

I find it interesting that with all the accidents that airlines have had over the years, with the Hindenburg- all hydrogen airship stopped.

We have better technology nowadays, and if people simply don’t smoke, and if you engineer it properly, it should be one of the safest ways to travel

The speed of air travel? 🤔

I doubt something like an airship will be anything close to as fast as a standard modern passanger airplane. 🤔

But probably still faster than sea travel.

The thing about airships is that they're incredibly slow. They usually top out at 85mph tips.

In Russia they are starting to build new generation airships!!!

Orbital Blinps are gonna be the yachts of the future

We have decided that we want the blimps

Oh! The Humanity!!

WoW, comparing the price of a 3rd class cruse ship ticket to and air ship is really deceiving. 1st class cruse ship ticket would be a better comparison.

Helium is a stupid idea and the Absolute Green idea. Get Over It.

I believe airships are the future of air travel. They still need work but, that appears to be ongoing.
Wishing the developers great success, just don't let the financiers get too greedy.

If Airship hull leak, hydrogen just escape. If it ignite, it burn high above of ship.

I’m 15 years old and I have been working on to try to get people to invest in my hydrogen transport airship. Do you know or know where I can go to get people to invested in my idea.

I have fixed most of the challenges when transporting and building them.
