This is an errant conclusion on your part. It has been verified by Rocky via Huff that the one in the photo is the body of Sanswire II. Use common sense. If anything, they would NOT show a picture of one of the 5 low pressure helium cells, as THAT would be a giveaway to the competition.

and

“Unlike the cylindrical shape of a traditional blimp, a Stratellite has a broad, tapered nose like a shark”.

This last stament contradicts the sketch you are referring to in your post: “This is the engineers' drawing of Sanswire II, released with the Sanswire II delay news earlier:”

There is no contradiction. The technology demonstrator is not a Stratellite. Sanswire II is not a Stratellite.
