If Sanswire II takes up Skydragon semi-rigid solution it would be a winning combination IMHO. Skydragon aerodinamics and flight mechanichs are a major breakthough in aviation Hight Altitude Airship technology. In fact is the only "real" innovation since the cigar shaped Zeppelins of First WW.
It owes to kite flight technology and "tails" and I would go as far as the hinging mechanism of the head of the first flying reptile the "pterodactyl", versus the body. We have not got wings yet, but some wings will have to come later.
Now this thought has occured to others and as late as yesterday it was posted on the ragingbull GTE board.

arxedi, there have been a few posters that are claiming that the design of the sansII had changed (something I refuse to believe) and is now built like the sky-dragon (non-rigid), please tell me that they can put those "rumors" to rest..TIA
"I also saw some new pictures of Sanswire ship. It was very cool."
