And now to something completly different...
The Ball of Dreams - the airship of the future....
This is a airship designed by Hokan Colting there has created the first amphibious airship..
I saw it on discovery channel in a broadcasting about the airship and new right away that this could be a good model...
Resembling a large globe, his unique airship can be steered at any speed and can land and lift off from water or land.
Colting's airship - which is round instead of the traditional cigar shape - carries passengers inside the balloon instead of in a gondola underneath.
There are seats inside and clear panels across the bottom of the outer envelope so passengers can view the scenery outside.
Other airships have fins at the back to steer with and, when you slow down to land, you lose the ability to steer.
His airship is steered through the engine using variable thrust and deflected thrust to move up and down from side to side.
It can land and take off with only two people on the ground.........
It have the High altitude world record for Ballons and Blimps...
It's not an hot air ballon but uses helium to keep it flying................
-------- The passengers on this flight is a group of my friends and me....................
