I occasionally read this guy's blog, and he seems to enjoy alternative forms of air travel, plus he's more knowledgeable about the physics than I (he was a JPL software guy and is now doing some carbon capture work). https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2020/05/20/a-quick-note-on-airships/ https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2020/05/20/a-quick-note-o...
