A British Company called <A href="http://www.worldskycat.com/" linkindex="42">SkyCat</A> is licensing its heavy-lift airship design; and the <A href="http://www.zeppelinflug.de/seiten/E/default.htm" linkindex="43">Zeppelin NT</A>, built with proceeds from the <A href="http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventors/zeppelin.htm" linkindex="44">Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin</A> endowment, recently completed its maiden flight.<BR /> </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/06/its-not-going-t.html"><P>On its website, the <A href="http://www.americanblimp.com/fly.htm" linkindex="45">American Blimp Corporation</A> provides a basic explanation of how airships work. Non-rigid airships, known as blimps, are members of the Lighter than Air family of aircraft, a category that also includes hot air balloons. They have no wings and no structure within their envelope, only air and helium, gases which allow an airship to retain its shape and creates buoyant lift.<BR /> </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/ABAC30B4-4D9D-4D92-BD06-B6FB6E0BE513/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
