Jfburk: The only airship the shareholders saw at the public unveiling was the airship being built by the exNASA rejects. Not mine! Once again, you are sorely mistaken. That airship never flew. Had I been left to my own devices, my design would have flown in mid to late 2005.
The reason I say mid to late 2005 is because there was a delay in obtaining the photovoltaic film cells from Ohio. Notice that the exNASA rejects didn't even bother to install them on their mock-up. Also notice that the 'control' surfaces were rigid. They didn't articulate as they do on conventional airships. Why is that? They can't claim to use the four chine mounted props for altitude control....they are mounted incorrectly and cannot articulate on their horizontal axis. That means that the exNASA Strat II could not perform any pitch or roll control....only yaw. ONE AXIS ONLY. And that won't work....but they did show it to you and you ate it up.
