 While I'm not sure where I would park the Aeolus Airship, I have decided I'd really like to have one. Though I'd settle for a ride, just once.
The aerodynamic airship, being pedal-powered uses non-toxic helium. It can carry two to four people on an above-ground journey for two weeks. Though I am guessing the more weight in the ship the faster you'd have to pedal and the more likely you would be to get exhausted, especially over a two week time. And since it is powered Flintstone style I'm assuming you'd have to have a pretty athletic team to go very far since you're legs are the motor behind the craft's speed.
The concept design is from Christopher Ottersbach. The design is getting quite a bit of feedback from several environmentally friendly blogs.Labels: Aeolus Airship, Christopher Ottersbach, non-toxic |
