There were a few episodes which highlighted the adventures of the second-string teams -- not every Stargate consists of O'Neill and Carter. Still, I find it difficult to imagine a near-future USAF unit which puts people into blimps. > And if air preassure and gravity are especially unfavourable the blimp > might be the only vehicle that is avaiable for a specific mission and > depending on the mission parameters better then nothing. So the primary flyer would be a modular helicopter or plane, but they have a few blimps for the right environments? A TL8 blimp could have solar cells, a fuel electrolysis system, and some hydrogen-burning engine to 'self-refuel'. In that case hydrogen could be used for lift, despite the fire risks. I'm a bit worried about weight. 28.5 lbs. to produce 1 gallon of LHyd per hour. It could take many days to refuel for a few hours of flight. Mike wrote: > Inflatable and looks like a bird or like?
