Soloman Tump Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 lush. A 500 ton lifting capacity for the big boy is mental! The potential is unbelievable if they can get it to work Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Soloman Tump's signature Hide all signatures https://intrusivesignals.blogspot.com/ Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/80557-the-aeroscraft-has-flown/#findComment-2063915 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Atom Dowry Firth Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Soooo ugly. Glad it's only the prototype! I read an article about airships being used as big floating hotels, kinda like cruise ships but in the air a number of years ago. Their use is probably limited to either that or possibly some kind of cargo transport surely? Everyone wants to go places faster and faster these days Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/80557-the-aeroscraft-has-flown/#findComment-2063932 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wants to go places faster and faster these days It was being promoted for millitary equipment drop offs and load outs. Also, mining equip and other such where there are no decent roads, places like africa, the wild north of Canada. Could transport all sorts of shit when you look at it like that. As to it's time tested reliability well, we'll see. Doesn't quite fit the artistic renderings either does it. Looking more snake oil burning in a pipe dream, than reality. shame that, hopefully it's kosher.
