UW>yesterday I saw a TV report that ABB and Siemens are planning to
UW>construct a heavy cargo lifter dirigible, 235m (775ft) long to
UW>haul heavy and otherwise difficult to transport items over long
UW>distances.
UW>The construction of the Zeppelin NT, a 12 seater rigid airship I
UW>wrote about in previous mails, has been completed. The ship was
UW>on display during the general aviation air show AERO in Friedrichshafen
UW>in April. Flight tests will commence soon, 5 units have already been
UW>ordered.
     I think i have heared about this on the news.  I probably was
flipping channels at the time and captured a few words.  But i think we
really do need bigger air ships.  But here is a little bit of words that
might strike up a controversy about saftey.  If we do build bigger air
ships, how do we know that they are safe planes.  Since the bigger the
ship, the more damage on the ground if one happens to crash.
