T he age of the airship is back, kind of. On 15 May, startup LTA Research flew its Pathfinder 1 airship outside Silicon ...

NEARLY a century after zeppelins were largely abandoned, a handful of start-ups are trying to revive the airship for both ...

In an era of “green" gimmicks and sky-high risk, author John J. Geoghegan says only capitalism can determine if ...

Nearly a century after the Hindenburg, a new generation of airship companies says they have a greener alternative for tourism and cargo flights.

Likewise, the airship's engines are no longer inline but staggered along its length to reduce the wind, drag and vibration that they used to cause. Like many other new designs, it uses helium as a ...

Unlike the hydrogen-filled Hindenburg, which was highly flammable, the Z1 relies on helium for lift, a nonflammable gas, providing buoyancy for the majority of the airship's weight, combined with ...

The project, which you can explore in detail here, revolves around a modular airship composed of individual spherical bodies filled with helium or hydrogen—or even a vacuum—arranged in a 3x3x6 ...

Tech expert Kurt Knutsson says AT² Aerospace’s Z1 hybrid airship uses helium lift, low fuel, no runways. JD Vance said the India-Pakistan conflict was ‘none of our business’ - until ...

Replacing flammable hydrogen with helium has allowed for safer development and aims to avoid a repeat of the Hindenburg disaster, the luxury German airship that exploded live on film in 1937.

The helium airship is an American Blimp Corporation A-170, known as a “lightship” for its ability to be lighted from inside its massive balloon for creative and advertising displays.

The AT2 Aerospace Z1 airship aims to use a combination of hydrogen-powered thrust vectoring and helium buoyancy to efficiently carry people and goods over 1,000 miles (1,600 km) per trip.
