@ Scared of Rays

Wouldn't it be a little bit more creepy if they emitted a slight ominous hum as they float over you slowly?

I would be really creeped out if several of these were gliding overhead in a conference hall. Maybe I've played too many video games.

We can help you determine the right product for your needs, by answering the big questions like:- Should I use a blimp at a trade show? How large a blimp do I need to be seen from a half mile away? Should I use a point and shoot style camera or a Digital SLR? Do I use digital graphics on my RC blimp, or banner attachments?

i assume its supported by neutrally buoyancy, so how would it deal with changes in temperature/pressure outdoors?

That explains a lot of price increases they have been having.

I think these are supposed to be prototypes for passenger and cargo blimps later.

Mmmm... Put a corporate logo/ad on it, fly it in the nearest mall on a week-end and cash in the novelty...

I wonder how long until they make a passenger version of this?

Hell, that wouldn't make too bad of a flying car. It did look pretty graceful.
