Military and Civilian Airships

Airships are making a comeback, after the hindenburg syndrome held back
development for decades we are now seeing modern materials and new concepts being utilized by civilian companies and the military for survailance and other applications.
Could some of these craft explain some of the ufo sightings reported in recent years ? ....... i think they can.

some of these images are 3d concept drawings and i have no information as to whether they are operational they are there as examples of what is being considered by modern designers.
for example the aeros airship (project walrus) was cancelled by the military and was never built, the lockheed p791 however was built and tested ... i have no idea if this design was put into production though as i have not looked very deeply into this subject.
**UPDATE***
lockheed's p791 is now being promoted to interested buyers
the testing phase is over, see this reuters video for more info http://www.reuters.com/video/2011/08/18/lockheed-martin-presents-airship-of-t...

You know the first ship you showed us was a hotwheels blimp...

@slash12799

lol .... there are more pictures of the lockheed martin high altitude airship on the web

... if it is also a hotwheels toy .... well there is an example of predictive programming for the kids

[jradetzky]

these things are called Zeppelins and have been around for 100 years

[CrunchyF123]

@jradetzky

no you are wrong,

zeppelin was a german manufacturer of airships ...go look at wikipedia for "graf zeppelin".

the graf zeppelin was named after the German pioneer of airships, Ferdinand von Zeppelin (graf= count)

they are still airships.

Interesting collection, but the only serious hybrid that is set to make it's first flight later this year is the HAV 304 from Hybrid Air Vehicles in England, that is being built as part of the LEMV program for the US Army.

@CrunchyF123 A Zeppelin is an Airship which utilises a strong internal skeleton with Helium tanks attached to it.

A Blimp is just a Ballon filled with Helium that looks like a Zeppelin

I love it when people with zero aeronautical knowledge claim everything that doesn't look like an Airplane, helicopter, or airship must be an alien space craft from Naboo, Tantuin, or Vulcan. It's military or experimental and if you believe anything other wise then you are a fool that is falling for the cover up expainations. Of course the government wants you to believe you are seeing aliens instead of the latest top secret technology.

be interesting if they made the starshiip from star wars lol

[homicyclops]

You see the crashed one in PA? Can stay up for indefinite length of time....well almost.

The arrogance of the airline industry is real culprit in stopping airship development. After WWll the airship could've ruled the sky but the Jet airliner took over. Everything became focused on speed so the airship was abandoned. And people still believe that the Hindenburg was brought down because of the Hydrogen and not the very flammable doping on the outer shell of the ship. The tell is that Hydrogen has invisible flame, but the burning Hindenburg was very visible.
