It’s a blimp. It’s a plane. No, it’s an airship with 5,000 square feet of living and/or cargo space, according to plans announced by a company that makes surveillance and advertising dirigibles.
The planned Aeroscraft ML866 is much more than an advertising blimp or one of those huge passenger dirigibles of the 1930s, said Edward Pevzner, business development manager at blimp-maker Worldwide Aeros Corp. It can be finished as a personal yacht, a business commuter craft or cargo carrier, he said.
But either way, it’s basically a low-maintenance, non-buoyant airship that could operate from any airport, carrying anywhere from two to maybe 20 people.
