ACCORDING TO WIRED, airships are coming to the Arctic. Might help with the logistics in a big way.
British airship manufacturer Hybrid Air Vehicles has announced a major contract with Canada’s Discovery Air Innovations to build airships capable of lifting as much as 50 tons, delivering freight at one-quarter the cost of other alternatives. Though various militaries have expressed interest in airships, this is HAV’s first commercial contract. The first ship is expected by 2014.
Hurrah!
ReplyDeleteAlways liked airships. And they could really use cheaper supplies up north, no kidding.
