Apparently a US military project that was cancelled and has been taken over by a private consortium in the UK.

There is an interesting video in the link.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586122.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586122.page GMT Giant zeppelin launched!

Biplanes crash and burn too.

Modern materials make airships stronger and safer and Helium more practical. They are also very fuel efficient, which counts for a lot more now than it did thern.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586290.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586290.page GMT Giant zeppelin launched! atm.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586304.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586304.page GMT Giant zeppelin launched! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586308.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586308.page GMT Giant zeppelin launched! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586314.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586314.page GMT Giant zeppelin launched!
I'm concerned by that fuel consumption and paltry payload... 1200kg doesn't seem a lot for something of that bulk, which consumes 3 tonnes of fuel per day. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586326.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586326.page GMT Giant zeppelin launched! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586333.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586333.page GMT Giant zeppelin launched! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586383.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586383.page GMT Giant zeppelin launched! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586409.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586409.page GMT Giant zeppelin launched! AFAIK) the only real aircraft technology in which efficiency/costs, payload, and size remain relatively proportional (larger airplanes with increased payload capacity cost disproportionately more and are disproportionally less efficient as the size increases).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586505.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586505.page GMT Giant zeppelin launched!

For info, Cardington Hangars (as seen in a lot of the clips) were used to film scenes for various Batman files, amongst others.
And, a mate went to a sports centre in Cardington to watch Bruce Dickinson train fencing there.
Oh, and he "His interests at Oundle [public school] were often military; he co-founded the school wargames society with Mike Jordan".

No reason not to, as it'll fly while you turn it off and on again...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586614.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/582338/6586614.page GMT Giant zeppelin launched!
