Skyacht Personal Blimp
Wing Your Childhood Dream with Skyacht Personal Blimp
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Leonardo da Vinci
Instead of Helium (conventional gas to run air balloons), the Skyacht Personal Blimp is powered by hot air. The bulbous balloon moves on a slow pace without causing any noise. Above all, the Skyacht Personal Blimp can be wrapped in a cupboard.
Therefore, you may take pleasure of the heavenly flight under the spherical hot air balloon crafted similar to a wild goldfish and fulfill your childhood dream.
The Skyacht Personal Blimp brings affordable, albeit slow, air travel within reach of everyone. Well everyone that likes floating around underneath a very bulbous hot air balloon thing painted like a demented goldfish. Mind you, one nice feature is the fact that it can be deflated and stored in a cupboard. A large cupboard.
“Houston, we are ready for takeoff.” Well if you’ve always fanaticized mouthing these words, then we have a surprise for you. No, it’s not a rocket or the Sky Car, but the Sky Yacht Aircraft Inc. Personal Blimp. Now don’t get all excited cause it’s not your escape from the daily traffic. As this Blimp is for purely for recreational use. The inventors are pleased as punch because the have made an efficient and successful skyrider. The Personal Blimp uses hot air instead of helium and a new patented frame that keeps the envelope (balloon) rigid but can also be collapsed. Unlike the Goodyear chumps the Personal Blimp doesn’t need to be stored in an expensive hangar when not in flight.
While we're still waiting for our jet pack and saving up for our Moller Skycar, it looks like we may soon have another flying machine at our disposal once the Skyacht personal blimp hits the market. The blimp's been in development since 2002 (including some makeshift wind tunnel testing) but just recently underwent its first tethered test flights and is set to make its first untethered flight later this month. Unlike traditional blimps, the Skyacht simply uses hot air instead of helium, and employs a "virtually silent" motor for propulsion. The use of hot air makes the Skyacht cheaper to operate than other blimps but, as you can see, also requires a much bigger balloon. Rest assured though, it is the world's first "practical" personal blimp.
