>I think a modern Zeppelin could be built for less than ten million dollars.
>A small fleet could operate daily flights on a route such as Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Istanbul, Shanghai, Tokyo, Seattle.

>Actually, hydrogen filled airships were extremely difficult to set alight. Just ask the Brits in WWI.
>The RAF could easily hit the German airships with gun fire, but couldn’t get them to ignite until they developed special phosphorus filled ammunition.

>Then, the small number of phosphorus burning bullets could ignite this hydrogen air mix.
>Even then, the RAF brought down very few of them.
