Lockheed Martin presents airship of the future

Published: 24 August 2011 y., Wednesday

Inflatable aircraft have been around since the Montgolfier brothers developed the first untethered hot-air balloon in 1782, but 200 years later, they are making a high-tech resurgence for both civilian and military use. US aerospace company Lockheed Martin's version is called the P-791 airship, which it hopes is about to take off.
