4:28Now PlayingHybrid Air Vehicles is developing their Airlander 10 aircraft, a helium-filled airship designed for both carrying up to 100 passengers distances of around 450 miles.
The aircraft could provide an eco-friendly way to transport passengers from A to B, but we all know how passenger airships went last time we tried them.
So what will it take for Airships to take off?
“Not Quite There Yet” is a series in which I explore emerging futuristic transport technologies that are yet to make it to prime-time, and dive deeper into what it will take to turn these concepts into a commercial reality.
I’m George Downs, a WSJ video journalist fascinated by how technology is changing how we get from A to B. If you’re interested in the future of mobility or how modern transportation can impact our lives– from EVs to eVTOLs, and beyond – then don’t forget to subscribe.
