    Afaik they want to use hydrogen, it is actually pretty safe with modern understanding, but regulations make it hard to pursue.

      I think people that dismiss hydrogen airships as impossible to make safe because of the Hindenburg miss that planes of that era weren’t super safe either, but have been made quite safe today, and that planes are filled with large amounts of flammable fuel. I personally think we should give them another shot.
