Ice road truckers needn’t fret

By Team Writer / December 9, 2016

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.
