It's a dirigible, and rumor has it that with this success, they just might start thinking about making an airplane.

Led Zeppelin already did this.

UK - Invented the jet engine - first viable fighter jet. First passenger jet. First and only vertical take-off and landing fighter plane. First supersonic passenger aircraft.

As for airships, they may well be the future as fossil fuels run out, as they can take major payloads at much less cost than road transport.

True. But I was directing my comments to Boob, and I did not think he'd understand the difference. I even went as far as telling Boob the same thing, then deleted it.

Of course, that stupid little island you live on has zero impact, and continues living in its dream world of a former fairyland empire.

Bob... why do you have such venom for a COUNTRY? It's not a being with a personality. You do realize that you're arguing, therefore, with a figment of your imagination, right?

Unlike you I have lived in the US and the UK, and prefer to live in the UK.
You have no understanding of the UK except what you see on Fox News and the History Channel.
Your brain is a rotted fetid stump.
