In the latest NDAA, both congresses agreed in their bills to "[direct] U.S. Transportation Command and the Air Force Mobility Command
to monitor progress in this area and report to the congressional defense
committees no later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act on
the status of developments in the commercial sector regarding hybrid
airships that could be used to provide the capability identified by
General Fraser, and to what extent the DOD could benefit from them."
Nobody is denying that the Aeroscraft was a success, and nobody in congress is willing to make a fuse about a technology that clearly represents the future of green aviation, This is good because it shows that any political pressure to stop airship developments, if there ever was any, has all but dried up.
No, now the only problem is that congress is in debt up to their eyeballs. The underlying cause being that the country has been robbed by offshore mega banks. Too bad we didn't spend any of that 26 Trillion the Fed gave to bailout the criminal banking mafia on airships, or jobs, or infrastructure, because now it looks like all congress can do is say, airships are a good idea, but we don't have any money to invest in the effort.
Hopefully the commercial sector will pick up where congress has left off, as congress is basically criminally negligent these days. It's almost surprising they even got this much right.
So we will see if there will be any money going to building airships for cargo transport. Fingers crossed.
