There are seven #blimps flying right now in the US. What a time to be alive.

TIL about #FlyingWhales #blimps

"Flying Whale's air freighter, the LCA60T, could be the largest aircraft in the world, spanning 200-metres in length — almost the equivalent of three A-380 Airbuses.

The airship will load from hovering, from stationary flight, which creates flexibility. Long-term goal is to establish 46 bases across the Asia-Pacific region and 160 bases globally.

Mount Isa City Council has signed an agreement to host the first base in Australia."

#KnowledgeByte: #Internet #Blimps are helium-filled tethered blimps that can extend internet access to areas that previously had none. They can cover up to 10,000 square kilometers.

Could solar-powered blimps (low-altitude airships) lead to a new era of enhanced internet connectivity for sub-Saharan Africa?

Oregon too has a history of #LighterThanAir travel; in #worldWar2 several #blimps patrolled the coast on the lookout for Japanese subs.

It would be AMAZING to see them gliding silently over the forested hills some day!

#Blimps

I was watching Richard Osman's House of Games yesterday and the question that I almost got correct was:

"How many blimps are there in the world?"

In 2021, Reader's Digest said that "consensus is that there are about 25 blimps still in existence and only about half of them are still in use for advertising purposes".
