Yet WSGI is the leader in this market according to some dreamers!
Just a little bonus for WW here:
HIGH ALTITUDE AIRSHIPS
To fly an unmanned airship between 60,000-70,000 feet above the surface of the earth has been the challenge of the last 40 years.This area of the atmosphere is a highly desired flight altitude, as it is higher than most aircraft fly and has generally lower speed wind, allowing for an airship to station over a specific area. In 2005, Raven Aerostar successfully launched and flew the second airship in history to achieve powered flight in the stratosphere (the first one, which flew in 1970, was also a Raven product). Today, Aerostar continues extensive development of the next high altitude airship
And just maybe...they have a little bit more resources than WSGI to make it feasible?
