@thaape You misunderstand. The vessel that is being lifted by helium cannot be lifted by a vacuum because it is not strong enough to contain one.

It was suggested at one time to build one to transport the shuttle from the west to the east coast instead of a 747, Probably thought it would be a little easier and cheaper in the long run.

@thaape Except that there's no vacuum involved if it's filled with a lighter-than-air gas. It works on the same exact principle as a boat or a ship, that is to say, displacement.

I don't think it works "off of a vacuum" because I think the weight of material that is strong enough to sustain a vacuum is greater than the lift created by the vacuum

Actually anything that can be lifted by a gas (helium or hydrogen) can, by definition, be lifted by a vacuum.
