Airships gain ground in race with aeroplanes for long distance travel
The article argues airships, once discredited, are becoming the best option for ultra long distance passenger service. It notes speeds around eighty miles an hour, eight day aloft times, 10 000 mile ranges, and plans for transatlantic routes with 525 dollar fares while contrasting comfort and safety with airplanes. It cites British and German airship progress and a planned Atlantic crossing.
