Zeppelin

On Friday, Goodyear unveiled its new state-of-the-art blimp at its Wingfoot Lake hangar in Suffield, Ohio. Built in partnership with the Zeppelin company, the new craft that replaces the 45-year old GZ-20 blimp fleet is not only larger and faster, it isn’t even a blimp, but a semi-rigid airship.

California-based Aeros Corporation has received FAA Airworthiness certification to begin flight testing of a new type of rigid airship called an Aeroscraft. New photographs show the giant airship outside flying under its own power, but connected by tethers to the ground.

The iconic Goodyear blimps that are a common sight in the skies over stadiums at sporting events in the US are set to become iconic Goodyear zeppelins. The company says its new airships will be longer, faster and more maneuverable than the current fleet, while being less expensive to operate.
