The long-held vision of giant airships nearly the length of a Canadian football field delivering workers and supplies to the oilsands and the North’s mining sector is a step closer to reality. U.S.-based Lockheed Martin has announced it has a letter of intent to sell 12 hybrid airships to Straightline Aviation of the United Kingdom.
Key Takeaways:
- It’s not something from the front cover of a Led Zeppelin album, but it’s just as innovative as the legendary hard rock band.
- Look up and someday soon you could see a zeppelin-like airship floating across the Canadian skyline.
- Transporting goods to remote northern communities.
