Back to the Future

They're back! Hybrid dirigible/blimps are coming soon from Lockheed Martin to haul heavy cargo and passengers to and from roadless places at 70 mph. A 1/3 scale test model is already flying and the first 300 foot production model will be delivered in 2020. The company anticipates a 1000 foot version in the future. It will be interesting if we begin to see these behemoths crossing our skies in the next few years. Be sure to look at the video to see what that might look like.
