Cruise Ship Of The Skies…Coming To An Airport Near You…
This beast is called an Aeros Craft… It’s not a blimp… It’s not a zeppelin… It’s more like a cruise ship that flies.
At about 600 feet long… This aircraft will offer enough room for hundreds of passengers to be totally pampered for an 18 hour coast to coast flight at around 8000 feet… The views will be breathtaking!
Even though it does use helium(a lot!)… It only gets about 2/3 of its lift from the gas. But it’ll have a payload of about 400 tons.
That means that the cargo version could carry a whole Wal-Mart’s worth of goods and land anywhere there’s enough flat space.
Relatively quiet… stable, and with no need to be pressurized … This aircraft is scheduled to be in the air by 2010.
