Do flying ships have a place in the future?
>>925038
Shameless bump
>>925038
Bump!
Why isn't anyone replying? All I see is bicycle threads, what the fuck?
This is a slow board, /b/tard. Give it a couple of hours.
>>925038
I have to think about this, give me a few days.
>>925038
1. How is that thing staying up.
2. Idk most likely not.
I believe flying ships will have a future in this world. I mean,we've done so many things,for example, people thought the B2 Spirit bomber was a alien spacecraft but I turned out to be a stealth bomber.
Skies of Arcadia ftw

Oh it's the ornithopter kid.

>1. Probably some sort of helium-based lifting body within the hull
Looks too dense for lift from helium to really amount to much, and using dynamic lift to make up the difference would require flying at several hundred miles per hour (which something as un-aerodynamic as that won't be). The only reasonable explanation is some kind of anti-gravity/repulsion system.
I don't feel there's any chance. There'd need to be a completely revolutionary type of fuel that could sustain such a large craft in the air for such an extended period of time without having to constantly stop to refuel, and would need to be eco friendly to not destroy the atmosphere with the emissions of such a large flying cancer machine.
Meep-meep
Plplplplplpl
*zzoommmm*
The future called, says it's too cold to fly boats, so no.

Why does this 'ship' have vetical strips of bacon on her bow?
Ya can't fly a tank, fool.

>Do flying ships have a place in the future?
yeah, they call them planes
>>925038
Only in you off-trend Streampunk dreams, my plebeian friend
It's questionable if aeroplanes have a place in the future.

Blimptrain is the future buddy.

There is LITERALLY no reason not to build this. Wake up sheeple.
>>928619
Oh, there are reasons. Good ones. Trust me, it'll be great. It's gonna be yuge.
Large flying vehicles need to stay up. This requires either a tremendous amount of energy or an enormous volume of lighter-than-air gas which takes a tremendous amount of energy to push around.

Or a train.
>>925038
No. No they don't. not in the atmosphere anyway.
Way too much downside if anything goes wrong
No upside if everything goes right
You will continue to be a ground based people
Bumped for reminiscence of an old show I were quite fond of.

>Neglecting the ship aspect
BlimpShip will make transport great again.
>>925038
There's a reason almost nobody uses them nowadays.
>>930143
i accept your proposal
There exists only exactly one country on this planet which is capable of building proper flying ships!
