Stingray

Sometimes I fool myself into believing I am the foremost expert on every airship program in the world. While I strive to know as much as possible about all Hybrid Airship programs going on, sometimes I miss things.

Today I'm pleasantly surprised to present Stingray:


It's a Swiss design that looks like it will be competing indirectly with Solar Ship

Between both designs I'm inclined to say that the Solar Ship is probably objectivity better, however the Stingray is targeting the right market I think, which may end up being more successful for them.

Solarship, needs to focus as much on their design being used for short city hops in the 1st world as much as it's going to be used to save lives in the 3rd world, I believe.

Really, Solarship has the design that is ideal for a personal flying machine in lieu of a flying car. If these things crash into each other, well, you saw what happens to the Airlander. Its highly likely the accidents will be more survivable and closer to car accidents then your typical mid air collision. That's something the Volocopter or even a Cessna 172 cannot say.
