The Goodyear Blimp
- dangrossman 14y agoIs this some kind of experiment in how many people will automatically upvote something from a karma-leader user?
- DanielRibeiro 14y agoI actually thought it fit the description of something that good hackers would find interesting and something that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity I was actually surprised by how detailed is Goodyear's description of it. Guess I was wrong.
- dangrossman 14y agoIt's nothing personal, it just seemed odd to submit the FAQ page of a blimp. If blimps are interesting to you, Airship Ventures might be of interest as well -- http://www.airshipventures.com/ http://www.airshipventures.com/
- DanielRibeiro 14y agoThanks for the link. I know. After looking for a blimp in the sky the other day I actually started wondering how much they weighted, and was surprised to find this answered in a faq. And the faq also posed questions/answers I had not imagined before, like: If the ship doesn't let off helium, how does it come down? What type of engines do the blimps have? How fast and how far can the blimp go? And even a soft reference to Hindenburg accident[1] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindenburg_disaster http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindenburg_disaster
