Interesting... Based on what I've read about airships, their biggest weakness is inability to deal with inclement weather. Conventional aircraft spend very little time in the clouds and usually fly above most storms (and they're fast/maneuverable enough to fly around with little time loss), and even when they're in, they fare quite well with de-icing equipment and automation to deal with cross-winds. Neither the original article or CargoLifter wiki page mention this.
