Airships went out of style after the Hindenburg disaster in 1937. Will they make a comeback? Maybe. Shown here is the Plimp, manufactured by Egan Airships, based in Seattle, Washington. The Plimp is described as a plummet-proof aircraft with the lift of a plane, the control of a helicopter and the buoyancy of a blimp. A prototype of the Plimp was launched last year. ... With its vertical take-off and landing, it can lift off or land just about anywhere. Unlike the Hindenburg, its lift is provided by helium, not hydrogen. Whew!!
