there is only one thing of that in the world?

As far as I know, there are less then 10 human powered airships in the World.

As you watch this video and you may be interested by Human Powered Flight, I would like to let you know that Stephane Rousson will finally try to be the first man to cross the Channel with a Human Powered Airship. He will have several trial windows between June 4th and 20th, 2008. He will start from Lydd (England) and arrive in Wissant (France, Pas-de-Calais), which is located 55 km from Lydd. Good luck, Stéphane !

Hi, I see it is heavier than air, how hard is it to get it to go up?

A group of people including myself are hoping to make an airship, but we are thinking of using hot air, as it costs a lot less than helium, and you don't have to store the blimp, just let the air out.

[jcgosselin]

FYI, Stephane Rousson inflates its airship so they weight together only one kilogram. If he does not pedal (and there is no upwind), they will go down slowly.

i want do that that cool:)

[jcgosselin]

Stephane Rousson will try to cross the Atlantic Ocean. I guess when he will acheive that he will help others to make their own HPV balloon or maybe rent or sell them.
