Move over luxery cruiseships! Here comes the Luxury Airships! Yup! They are making a comeback, those blimps of old. However, they are newly designed for a greener tomorrow. Expected to replace everthing from airliners to commercial trucking, these gigantic airships can get up to 100 miles an hour and 10-60 thousand feet in the air. Mostly powered using solar tech, the uses for these are already being planned:
firefighting- replace the relatively small loads of planes and helicopters with a much larger payload from a blimp.
commercial transport- move much larger payloads to replace dozens of pollution spewing semi's.
Cheaper Public transport- Goodbye tour bus, so long Greyhound, Amtrak who?
Luxury Transport- Air Cruise to Europe anyone?
