Thermite isn't solid rocket fuel.

Whatever it is or isn't, the oldschool doped up cloth skins flamed at least as brightly as P&N

The future of airtravel is short. Most airlines already operate on a razor thin margin because of very high aviation fuel costs.

Within 2 years the cost of airtravel won't be teneble (for the remaining 10% of this worlds population).

Which makes me wonder what kind of mileage this airship will get, 2/3 of its weight is supported by gas, but then again it's sure to have a huge wind resistance profile. I think it'll be feasible though, otherwise they wouldn't be trying to build it

Do you have any facts that support your theory or did you just pull that out of your arse?
