"Lockheed Martin is testing a small-scale airship as part of an internal research and development effort," Lockheed spokeswoman Dianne Knippel said.

The large white airship is shaped somewhat differently from a traditional blimp, with twin torpedo-like sections joined in the center and a cockpit beneath. Four airlifters move the vehicle on the ground and in the air.

Seems they dont learn from past mistakes. !

In the early beginnings of the co-operation Sky Station worked on a small-scale model of Dr. Wong's Corona Ion engine. The airship concept was an unworkable twin hull design linked with a large flat section. LBL immediately advised Sky Station that this was totally unworkable and suggested a conventional single hull driven by a propeller/electric motor. It was evident that the Corona Ion engine would never deliver the required thrust.
