Airships are so back (soon)

I have great news! I was wrong on the Internet!

In my Jan 2023 cargo airship post, I wrongly assumed airships would be limited to trucking-level per-ton-km revenues. It turns out airships can actually BEAT 747 freight service times. This means revenues and margins can be MUCH higher.

@JimCoutre figured this out and has started @ShipByAirship to usher in the new transoceanic cargo airship era. I'm thrilled to be a part of this journey not only as a supportive poaster but also as a pre-seed investor. Airship Industries will deliver cargo faster than today's air freight service with 75 percent fewer emissions and with far fewer opportunities for theft and delay.

Please join me in congratulating Jim on the launch and in celebrating our glorious airship-filled future.

A blimp crashed into a residential area in the Sao Paulo suburb of Osasco, Brazil, on Wednesday, September 25.

The airship was on a test flight ahead of a planned promotion of the local soccer team Sao Paulo Futebol Clube and was supposed to fly during its match on Wednesday evening, local reports said.

The Sao Paulo fire department said one person involved in the crash was being treated for injuries.

"Gold-beater's skin is very gas tight in proportion to its weight and thickness. To give, however, sufficient strength it requires to be thick and heavy. Unless varnished, it absorbs a great deal of moisture from the air in humid weather and this increases its weight. It is extremely durable and lasting and withstands the sun's rays very much better than rubber fabrics. Beta's envelope and most of the small spherical balloons are made of gold-beater's skin."
