I think this is quite an interesting craft:
And let's hope this will continue the project in 2010...

That first one looks like the Michelin Man mooning the world.

it's not hydrogen anymore ... so no zeppelin remake, it's an inert gas

My feelings about hydrogen are really mixed...I wonder why nobody worries about the large amounts of flamable liquid we have in cars these days. It would be really interesting to see what would have happened if the Hindenburg wouldn't have exploded.
Also, the new Aerosraft is being designed as a hybrid airship...essentially being heavier than air. So helium isn't the only lift factor.

Gasoline is only flammable in its gas phase. COME ON!

I thought it was pretty flammable in it's liquid phase, but more explosive in it's gas phase.
Anyhow, gonna go get some matches and some gasoline to test this theory. Be right back.

IMHO best trainer out there. The looks, the sound, everything is just perfect.
Remember to hold onto the match. It won't work right if you drop it or hold it with a stick. Trust me, I'm an expert on such matters. Honestly.
Report back quickly.

This can only end well.
I'm using my phone, so no photos. I submit the T-38 as a better looking and far sexier aircraft.

The most beautiful plane in the world refueling...
A nice view how the once lean and mean F-16 has bloated over the decades into the Block 60.

EW. I wouldn't even identify the F-16 Block 60 as being an F-16 if you hadn't just told me. I knew it had gotten bigger, but I had NO IDEA it had been outright RUINED.
Eh, if you take it as its own airframe, it looks cool in a utilitarian way (the same way anything built by Antonov ever looks cool) - but the sticking point is that it's NOT it's own airframe, it's built on top of a svelte, nimble piece of engineering. It looks like a runway model in a fatsuit.
