Comments on Dynalifter Prototype Ready For Flight
Amateur aircraft builders create the prototype for giant heavy lifter airships. (Read
the complete story)
| "Short distance take-off and landing? 4,000 feet is three-quarters of a mile!" (Andy 1/7/2006 9:33:55 AM) |
| "It's like a giant fish in concept i.e. it uses gas to give both lift and to give stability, the wings also do the same but on a finer scale" (Christopher Thomas. 1/8/2006 2:41:22 AM) |
| "For another take on this concept, take a look at Dean Ing's "The Big Lifters". In it he describes what he calls a "Delta Dirigible", a large flying wing shaped dirigible that gets its lift both from Helium and from the airfoil shape of the body of the craft. " (Steven Hanly 11/21/2006 5:04:37 PM) |
| "Philip Jose Farmer also wrote about this in his book "Day World."" (tj 4/23/2008 12:45:38 PM) |
| "Australia outback would love dynalifters of any size. Trackless land trains would be a thing of the past." (Rudy 3/13/2010 10:17:57 AM) |
