- rob74 4y agoYeah, the title of the article immediately made me think of that other company that was "poised for an aviation revolution", but only got as far as building a hangar. LTA Research is lucky that they can use an existing hangar rather than having to build a new one. At airship sizes, that's a pretty big investment.
- arc-in-space 4y ago> Nice idea, but others have tried that and failed Thank you for the background; however, "but" is probably not the conjunction you want here, unless you have good reason to believe this can't be done? That wiki page suggests the project was technically sound but ran out of budget. Obviously things tend to fail the first few times you try them, especially when underfunded.
