I was on this shit in middle school

Nah, don't think that they will ever enter into any use except tourist excursions. They're just too slow. I'd like to ride one though. I always end up missing my local hot air ballon festival

Maybe for some people it can be a luxurious alternative for living, like an rv or sail ship.

Did you see the tethered train ones thread here little while ago?

>>2065207
No.

I've been waiting on the dynalifter for twenty years. It's not happening. I'm sad.

They should make it in a military budget version. That might make it applicable for future civilian use as a civvie version or a second hand military equipment,like warbirds or even hueys..

They need to use them for telecom. Why the fuck do we need to go to space?

the french are making a fret airship, mostly for canada, to transport mostly lumbering in remote area, so there's a future for airship fret
it's also interesting because you barely need any infrastructure for transport itself so you don't have to buy a ton of separate properties to lay rail like train
also there's multiple prototypes of anchored airships with turbines that can be an alternative to wind turbines that need a gorillion tons of aluminium (pollute to make and recycle) and the other gorillion of tons on concrete necessary so your aluminium pillar stay in place (which destroy soils)
so unironically airships are the future but it's too inefficient sizewise to be used as a trailer car

How do blimp turbines compare to Saul Griffiths gyro kites?

i'm no expert but i'll guess a lot better since they don't rely on low altitude winds
