multivalue,

And was the reply meant to be condesending because I took it that way?

Absolutely not, sorry if it sounded that way. You raise some good points that I really do not know how will be addressed. Maybe someone else has some thoughts. Thanks...rock

I actually think its a non-issue really. When was the last catastrophic airship failure..1937 "The Hindenberg". The Stratellite does not use hyrogen as the primary lifting gas...Helium is used (non-explosive). And as many blimps covering sports events around the world every year....I have not heard of a major crash since 1937.

Even if there was a puncture, powerfailure, etc., the Startellite is designed with motors and airfins, and is designed to be flown to an extent. So even if massive systems failure, it could be brought down in a controlled glide. JMHO...but I think fears of an airship :crashing" down on people can be easily alleviated.

And I'm with Rock on the Airbus A380...would hate to live in the flight path of that monster.

I think you answered your own question.

"If a strat did need to come down then obviously aircraft in the area are to be notified."

And I think for the next question.

"What if one comes down "not" at a scheduled time."

"As for me personally I know the strats are unmanned and constantly monitored."


IMO. The appropriate authorities would be notified to clear the skis.
