Isn't helium in short supply on earth these days? I'm confused

[@spiderbite7849]

5:26 “Because the engines are located OUTSIDE the passenger compartment, the aircraft is very silent” great design choice. Engines inside the passenger compartment had its problems, like the deafening noise and spinning propellers

[@MrPooPooJohn]

Man, I do NOT miss those days. Zero legroom, screaming babies and jet engines all in the same space. Somehow we endured. 😕

[@OviHentea]

Description mentions speed @64kmph in 2016 - is it any better now? Also, how does it handle high winds, especially while close to ground? Does max altitude allow it to go above bad weather?

[@alexb7641]

No, exactly like a 🎈, and no.

The engineer was listening to Sir Mix-a-Lot I see.

[@wobblemcdonald1411]

Fabulous tech. Sadly Helium supplies on earth are very short, and it's not a renewable resource.

This is really a feat of engineering, an extremely fascinating aircraft that is also eco-friendly. This could be the future if it could carry more passengers.

[@peterdowney1492]

They are making an even bigger one. Airlander 50.

[@MyRealName]

The problem is that it's very very slow. 130 km/h top speed..

[@peterdowney1492]

@@MyRealName Compared to other airships? Or is it a general problem? Cheers.

[@MyRealName]

@@peterdowney1492 I mean compared to airplanes, it's very slow. For moving cargo, it's limited to relatively light cargo. I struggle to find use for it, though it's would amazing as an airship that's good for luxury sightseeing trips and things like that. Unless I'm missing something, of course. Cheers!

[@TankinatorFR]

Basically, the company stated that they don't want to stack too many "new techs" at the same time. First, they do the airship, then, they propose an electrified version, and if there is enough progress on flexible photovoltaic cells, they will try to integrate them afterward. Actual solar panel aren't suited for this purpose.

[@danc2014]

Until solar cell and batteries become lighter, adding cells and batteries to power the ship would reduce the passenger load to 10 and make a 2 day trip into 10.

[@davynolan182]

One problem, helium.

[@s7s7s7s7s7]

Why?

[@davynolan182]

@@s7s7s7s7s7 Cost and the ever increasing scarcity. Hydrogen is the obvious choice, it’s lighter and cheaper, we’ll never run out. Safety is the issue but with clever engineering we could make it safe. However, the public and their representatives will veto it the minute someone brings up the Hindenburg disaster.

[@Guide504]

This aircraft has several issues. 1, it's enormous for 100passengers. 2, it's slow 3, it's a hi end indulgence 4, in long claimed journeys it's control authority and wind resistance is limited, potentially making it an immobile hazard to other aircraft in integrated airspace. 5, clearly not a viable solution to low cost air travel. 6, helium is finite rare gas. Advantages are the views are fabulous.

[@msre8800]

Exactamente. Acabo de enterarme por los medios de información que la aerolínea española AirNostrum ha pedido 20 de estas aeronaves, las cuales operarán a partir de 2026, algo que me parece a todas luces una fantasía sin sentido alguno.

[@AuthorityCat]

1. passenger planes don't fly at 20,000 feet, I don't see how size is an issue 2. it's faster than maritime transport 3. what? 4. helicopters possess the same limitation 5. how do you know how expensive it is? 6. they can use hydrogen instead

sustainable? how many days out of a year is it possible to fly, without being blown off course? Yeah, that’s what I thought….not so sustainable….yet to do anything except look awesome. A blowup micro version would work better on the moon, no wind, less gravity, and super thin atmosphere. 🤫

[@2ndavenuesw481]

10 tons is a quarter of the weight of a fully loaded semi truck. Not enough freight for something so elaborate to build. They're going to have to build them much, much bigger to be useful.

[@BrowncoatGofAZ]

From what I understand, they’re going for very specific niches. Examples: 1 delivering cargo to areas with rough terrain with no high-weight roads and no serviceable runway. I don’t know how much cargo a Cessna bush plane can carry for example, but I’m betting this tops that. 2 high-endurance loitering in search and rescue situations.

[@sharonlawson1968]

As scary as it might be, the relative scarcity of helium will require a switch to hydrogen is they are ever to "take off".

[@jamesmylife6578]

If they build it good enough that it probably won’t end up like the Hindenburg. The Hindenburg sister ship didn’t experience a similar fate because it was built overall better.

[@wlnter.s]

but what is it for? why is it so big?

[@razrose2380]

Very informative although it could have done without the 1960s cinema music.

[@daleduddridge6903]

And it crashes easy as well.

[@loojishtc9899]

Can it fly on windy days?

[@eljangoolak]

Wonder if the could cover the surface above it with thin layer flexible photovoltaics to increase the amount of time it could stay in the air since it has such a large surface area. Also i think an aeropike engine would work well for these... Another thought would be to optimize the topology of the interior aluminum frame with AI generative design to minimize weight

[@Conn653]

Put carbon-fiber in the structure to lighten, yet strengthen, the craft. Many of the "new" solar power generation systems would easily turn this into a 'cost per hour' miser. Very economical to operate. Initial cost would be a major consideration. Great to see this back in the news 🙂

[@florimond1816]

Not my proudest fap

[@ceciliodecolongon5822]

They should lay flexible solar panel covering half of the roof. And instead of diesel engine, they install electric motors and batteries. It can hover in the atmosphere indefinitely.
