Will the Personal Airship Be the Vehicle of the Future?
Probably not, although that hasn't stopped one Indian artist from designing a fantastic one.
Man, the future cannot get here quick enough if it means everyone will be gusting around on these gas-bladdered airships.
The "3rd Dimension" aircraft is the brain squirt of Riten Gojiya, a digital artist in Pune, India, who specializes in conceptual vehicles. Give him credit for conceiving a motorized airship that isn't covered in brass knobs, tanned leather and other fixtures of the steampunk world. His 12-foot-tall sky crawler is made of all the latest blimp technologies – lightweight aluminum skeleton, parasailing-quality fabric, NanoTritium battery, helium and hydrogen gases. OK, that last one is a bit of a throwback. Just don't be smoking around this baby, yeah?
