'LIGHTER-THAN-AIR' AIRSHIPS: A RENAISSANCE!

 THE MAX ALLEN REPORT

THE AIRSHIP RENAISSANCE IS HERE!

The golden age of lighter-then-air is back!

Back in the golden days, before the Hindenburg Disaster, travel by airship was the ultimate way to travel.  From coast to coast, across 'the pond' to Europe, and beyond the airships were literally 'hotels of the sky'.  The luxury offered rivalled any 4-star hotel ... and then some!

Today modern technology has brought back the kings of the sky with flair!  The use of composite and flameproof fabric, electric motors, non-flammable helium for lift, and advance aeronautic technology are responsible.

Imagine an airship of truly gargantuan proportion covered with solar cells across the top, driven with electric fans powered by those solar cells, and weighing a fraction of those in the 1930's and 1940's.  Carbon fibre and other high technology polymers are stronger than steel and lighter than paper!  Let's not forget the non-flammable gas, helium, in use.

I want to take the Trans-Atlantic 'tour' to Europe.  I will, and very soon.

I'm Max, and that's the way I see it!
