Hybrid Air Vehicles is developing their Airlander 10 aircraft, a helium-filled airship designed for both carrying up to 100 passengers distances of around 450 miles. The aircraft could provide an eco-friendly way to transport passengers from A to B, but we all know how passenger airships went last time we tried them. So what will it take for Airships to take off? 0:00 Hybrid Air Vehicles are developing the Airlander 10 0:45 Blimps could replace airplanes on short journeys 2:02 Here’s why Airlander isn’t like the Hindenburg 3:10 Why passenger blimps haven’t taken off just yet 4:07 What will it take for blimps to return to our skies? “Not Quite There Yet” is a series in which I explore emerging futuristic transport technologies that are yet to make it to prime-time, and dive deeper into what it will take to turn these concepts into a commercial reality.
