Navy waits word to build world's greatest airship
United States Navy experts say Congress could authorize construction of the world’s largest airship. The proposed craft would hold 6,000,000 cubic feet, cruise about 85 miles per hour, and cover 8,000 miles per flying radius in three hops. Estimated cost ranges from 4 to 5 million dollars, with 500,000 to inflate using helium. Britain plans two 5,000,000 cu ft craft due 1828, possibly rivaling U.S. effort. The Los Angeles is cited as a smaller benchmark in this race.
