A group of engineers working for a Spanish company, Turtle Airships, is working to build a luxurious solar powered blimp that could carry passengers from New York to Paris silently and emissions free. The outer surface for the giant airship will be covered with photovoltaic cells that are expected to provide enough energy to move the ship at 40 mph under normal weather conditions. This blimp and other similar designs have large carrying capacities, exceeding that of todays largest jet aircraft which makes them viable for cheap and efficient transport of trade goods internationally.

I was wondering when i would see the return of the airship. That is truly amazing. Soon passengers will not only travel for cheap, but they will get to experience how it was doing in the early 1900s. With high capacity it means that when goods are transported for in the air and are cheap and clean, then the ocean will be saved and so will our wallets. Nice random post!
