At $500. a seat, for a one hour flight, this gorgeous craft is primarily for the 1% who can write it off. Still, It's incredible to behold, much more dramatic than a blimp, although I've never seen both in the air at the same time, I'm not sure if it's a regulation or coincidence, but it would be nice to see this with one of the silly Fuji blimps nearby. I never thought I'd see a real zeppelin so perhaps it's not too much to expect a longer version at some future date.
The Eureka is 246 ft long, 64 feet wide, 57 feet tall, and 296,643 ft³ of gas volume (Helium). The old USS Macon which was the reason for the huge structure known as Hangar One at Moffett Field was 785 feet long, 133 feet wide and 146 feet tall and had 6.5 million cubic feet of gas (Helium) capacity! The Eureka would look like a moped next to a stretched BMW 7 series! Sigh... I wish they made them that big again....

The old zeppelins crossed the atlantic with 100km/hour in 2 to 5 days, not bad.

Considering it can go as fast over land sea and snow its not. Faster than normal ships but slower than airplanes
