ANY gas filled ship qualifies as a "blimp" if you are using the general term. Airship is a truly multi-use lifting vehicle and transport carrier.

I'm not too familiar with these types of vehicles, so I just went with my first impressions, but I thought it was an interesting move for the north for sure. Thanks for the info!

I would not use the term futuristic blimp for the new HAV 366, as it is a hybrid air vehicle and is a lot more than just a blimp, it is shaped and produces lift like a fat flying wing, has vectored thrust engines like the Harrier jump jet and uses two hoverskirts for an undercart. Like a ship is uses a bow thruster to point into wind at slow speed.    Regards JB (Airship & Blimp Consultant 3w dot hybridairship dot net) This is great news and it will make a big difference to the development of the far North of Canada to have an alternative to the use of the unreliable ice roads.
