Airships promise the speed of air freight with dramatically lower costs and direct door-to-door delivery. Picture one hovering above a factory. It lowers a winch to collect cargo, then floats silently across the ocean to deliver goods straight to their destination. No ports, no truck transfers, no delays. No unionized longshoremen.
Airships will also be able to go anywhere. Remote mining sites that currently depend on endless truck convoys could receive a week's worth of supplies in a single airship delivery. A family moving overseas could ship their belongings in days instead of months, at a fraction of today's costs. I could’ve used this. When planning my move to Abu Dhabi, movers quoted us $2,500 and a 22-week delivery time just to ship three boxes of kids’ toys.
Great facts about the cargo option for developers
