Large rigid airships will become a new form of travel; aerial cruising.
The great zeppelins of the past were able to carry more than 200 passengers and to travel across the globe. Passengers enjoyed unparalleled sightseeing; and living on board the airships was much like being on a marine cruise ship.
However, that was then.
Now, modern high-tech materials, coupled with computer alalysis and design will result in large airships that are much more capable than the great airships of the 1930's. These new airships will be much faster, with speeds that are comparable to some airplanes. New shapes and materials allows the airships to fly in all weather conditions;and computer controled flight gives passengers unequaled safety and comfort.
The "turtle" airship in particular, is ideally suited for aerial touring. Because it is amphibious, passengers can board at a pier just as they do for marine cruise ships. The use of solar power gives the Turtle Airship unlimited range; and offers a way to reduce carbon emissions which may contribute to Global Warming.
Turtle Airships will eventually be offering free airship rides to a select few thousand persons, as the company grows and gains airworthiness certifications from the FAA.
Our purpose in offering free rides will be as like any other business........we'll be looking forward to hearing excited and pleased passengers; and hope that they will share their experience with their friends. Persons interested in Turtle Airships' progress towards these goals are welcome to communicate by email at all times.
