Solar powered blimp inspired by sea turtles.He's also thinking that it'd make a good aerial weapons platform.

That link mistreated the computer I'm on.

Huh. No problems here. Its kind of image heavy, but that's about it. Certainly nothing on that site has set off any of the spyware alarms on my machine.

ANYTHING that can loiter in the air and pack ordinance has a military use.

No problem Tuck, probably this machine.

For me it worked really hard to wind up not succeeding in showing lots of ads.

A safer and saner site for the same material (minus the value-added of a Gamera image):

PRWeb: Giant Flying Turtles to Revolutionize Global Aviation with Solar Power (a paid news release outlet):

Airships might be nice for tourism, but for carbon neutral I might take an ethanol or hydrogen powered plane to save time. No reason why you can't run a plane off biodiesel, but I'd be worried about partical pollution and how the stuff reacts to low temperatures. Hydrogen powered jets might need big fuel pods, but the stuff is light. But it might be easiest to use kerosine from oil as we do now and then remove the carbon from the atmosphere with plants, by abusing plankton or other methods.

But good luck to the giant flying turtle company. They might need it.

Biodiesel powered plane flew earlier this year. As did a hydrogen powered plane.
