highly practical Aeroscraft rigid skin airship 787 feet long, 234 foot
size now floating in its hanger, to carry 500 tons to 12,200 feet at
100 knots/hour -- moves air in and out of internal tanks to control

of dozens of quality articles on world wide advances in science and
technology -- today's issue was amazingly full of striking advances,
including two at new universities in Singapore -- you, see, since the
Net has exploded publicly to about 2 billion users since 1990, no
genius is being left behind -- innovation is always exponential, my
main interest at MIT in 1962-4 --
In 1990 the Internet had existed for only 7 years; just 3 million
people had access to it worldwide -- 361 million by end of 2000 --
predicted to reach over 2,500 million users this year -- with far
cheaper computers that are millions of times more powerful since 1990
-- while Net connection speeds have just risen to 54,000,000 bps in
Hong Kong, up from 300 bps with Prodigy and America Online in 1992, a
150 million times faster...

http://phys.org/news/2013-01-high-tech-cargo-airship-built-california.html#nwlthttp://www.aeroscraft.com/#/aeroscraft/4567337667http://www.aeroscraft.com/#/aeroscraft-family/4565621879I've been enjoying watching high altitude airship technology evolve for years:
with thin 20% power solar cell film on top, it can go and stay
anywhere with zero emissions and no fuel costs -- design can reach km
scale sizes per unit, which can be linked like railroad cars in a
train -- mansions for the rich, luxury cruise hotels for everyone,
low cost travel for many, super precision geological surveys of entire
Earth, quiet safe clean...
easy to foresee speeds of 400 mph at 30,000 feet, above the weather --
the largest passenger jet now is the Airbus A380, which can carry 960
people with a lift load of 650 tons, which includes a huge fuel load
-- so this prospective airship could carry as many in comfort...
teams are planning larger airships to stay at 12 miles and then at 24
miles, and suggesting versions that can slowly soar for a week with
solar power to gently go into polar orbit... then lunar orbit, then
the planets and asteroids...
nonpolluting highway to space -- current huge high altitude airship
projects based on solar cells may fit with an unshielded, light-weight
versions of simple, safe Hyperion uranium hydride 5,000 KW fission

Aeroscraft ML866, a superyacht for the sky.

October 8, 2007 It’s as big as a superyacht, and not quite as fast as a
supercar but it does have a range of over 3000 miles and can do it over
land, sea or snow, lingering anywhere you like the view. A new category
of aircraft that fits somewhere in between a blimp, airship or
dirigible, the Aeroscraft ML866 project was recently presented at the
National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) show in Atlanta, Georgia...
