First off, it is clear that sSergy Brin is updating al the tech to modern standards. That is your first step in doing all this.
Second, after all the chatter about disaster relief, the real market is moving tonnage. We are told that 200 tons of lift is real. Secondly we are told that sixty mies per hour is alrerady plausible. This is our baseline and that ladies is already usable. double the size in length and width and we will lift 1600 tons or 16 containers.
I do expect a stiff skin as we go for size and this allows speeds up to around 100 mph at least. Understand that as the craft gets larger, the proportional airframe weight declines against the total lift as one is increasing by a cube power while the rest is by a square power.
After all that, just moving fresh food without vibration and in naturally cold air one day is 1500 miles and two days it is three rthousand miles. California reaches the entire USA without any long haul trucking.

Better yet ,the whole thing can be drone operated with no crew on board. My point is that this replaces long haul trucking at least. now imagine mass production and everything will end up moving by air.
That still leaves us with the weather problem and that is a nasty issues that will likely force the buse of safe lockdowns in a weather emergency when the craft can not run out of the way of incoming weather. running thunder strorms will be tricky but they did all that in the past.

And by the by, hydrogen lift will likely be practical for drone based systems.
so yes, once we can replace long haul trucking, the future will be spectacular. Ideal for europe, USA, India. China and Brazil in particular and ultimately everywhere else.
We also can snag trees with a stripper that has a cut of and then pull in the log to a hanger. We really need to do this because the per tree damage caused is actually huge for pulling a tree.
The Spectacular Future of the Airship |
Hello World with Ashlee Vance
Google's Sergey Brin wants to bring back zeppelins, the majestic airships whose golden age passed a century ago with the Hindenburg disaster. We travel from California to Ohio and the Hindenburg's birthplace in Germany to see if this new old style of aviation can really make a comeback.
