Airships
Dear Rudy,
After listening to today's show, I want to thank you and the listener
who spoke about airships. Rigid Airships are hopefully on the verge
of making a comeback. There are several companies who are seriously
trying to restore them to a position of usefulness in the
transportation industry. I also, would love to travel via airship.
Besides that fact that it is a more civilized way to travel, they
pollute less, are more fuel efficient, and require less
infra-structure.
There are quite a few Websites devoted to them, one in particular is
for Rigid Airship Design N. V. of the Netherlands at
They are currently building a prototype airship capable of carrying a
thirty-ton payload half way around the world non-stop. They could be
especially useful in third world countries lacking infra-structure to
move the necessities of life.
Please consider devoting more time to this subject as I feel you have
a wide audience of thoughtful people who might never have considered
the possibilities of rigid air ships. Would a twenty-four-hour flight
to Europe be so hard to take if you arrived already relaxed and
rested for your two-week vacation?
Sincerely,
Gene Pi
