A Very Well Researched Article on HAV
I've noticed a lot of articles with bad reporting on what is going on in the airship world. Props to the telegraph and Nail Tweedie for getting all their facts correct in this well written article.

Bruce Dickinson hopes to live stream airship flight around the world.
I was just reading this article today and found out that Bruce Dickinson lead singer of Iron Maiden and airship enthusiast has a brilliant idea, he wants to travel around the world on an airship and stream the whole thing live.
I always had a feeling that one of the things that will really make airships have a big impact in popular culture and help advance their return, would be their utility for the music industry and preforming live concerts from suspended stages.
Imagine Iron Maiden playing Flight of Icarus 200 feet above their audience on a suspended stage hanging from a hybrid airship. They could then move around the entire stadium and float above the crowds.
Their performance could start on stage in the normal spot, but then the stage could be lifted into the air and floated around the crowd. When the music gets to the point where he sings "fly like an eagle" the second time, the stage could rise up and fly out of the stadium over all of LA, allowing the entire band to be suspended 2500ft over LA playing one of their hit songs, giving a performance the world has never seen before.
It's really exciting to have someone like Dickinson being involved in the development of these airships, as it gives a really good chance that this will happen sooner rather then later. And when it dose happen, I think Airships will really make a huge return in pop culture as people will really start to realize what these new airships are capable of and it will start to get people thinking about what other things they could use them for that had been imposable before.
Other bands would likely follow suit and all of a sudden the music industry would be buying airships like crazy. Maybe even the "Airship Gig" might become a regular thing for every mainstream artiest out their. I could imagine all kinds of pop-stars preforming over New York and London as well.
I really hope Dickinson dose this in the future, their isn't any band I could think of that would be better then Iron Medan to attempt this stunt first.
Let's hope for the best!
