In the operation of blimps one thing that is extremely important is making sure the gas does not escape. If the gas escapes from a lighter-than-air aircraft it will slowly float back to the ground. If it leaks out fast or punctures it will fall to the ground rapidly; if you are in it you will die. Dying is not good.

As we create balloon, blimps and military high-tech dirigibles and ask them to perform at higher and higher altitudes we will need to maintain stronger materials in the manufacturing of these lighter-than-air craft. There have been balloons, which have gone around the world and we have weather balloons, which resemble UFOs gathering important data about the winds aloft and our atmosphere. We have low and high altitude airborne communication stations and cell

Carbon Nano Tube Sheets are 50 times the strength of steel by weight, which makes them absolutely perfect for balloon, blimps and dirigibles. Future Blimps will be much more efficient thru the using of these new high tech materials. I propose we do a little more research and start building some right away. Think on it.
