Honestly I do not think the business other than for amusement.

It's nice to see someone actually attempting to use the technology again.

US Army's cancelled LEMV project was based on this airship.

Gizmag has lots of currentish (and older) airship articles.

I found it amazing that they have developed the old way of traveling

How they are going to use this ship I don't know.

Commercial or as a slow transport.

As it is mentioned in the article it can land on everything, so it could be used to send material into areas where ordinary ground or air transport can't reach or land.

People have been planning the "return" of balloons, blimps and the like for the 50 years and will probably continue to do so for the next 50 years.

Huge Airship ready for testing
 
This thing is huge! They say they can use it for just about anything, even rescue type missions. Can't see them doing that in real rough weather though.

Anyone in the UK going for a ride on it!?!:)

My memory is not what it have been, I was somehow sure that I had made a thread about the same

Made a search and found it

I find this very interesting indeed-this big airship

The possibility it can be used for.
