Alan Weston, CEO, @LTAresearch, delivers Tuesday keynote at #AIAAaviation on a return of interest in #airships. 
Weston: “Electric cars have come back. I think the dawn of the new age will include airships and I'm so excited to work with my colleagues in the airship industry, to rebirth that industry.”
He describes construction of the company’s Pathfinder airship, which will target humanitarian missions.
“30 people can build an asset that used to take 1000. This is a lost art. It’s taken us a while to figure out how to do this, and do it safely.”
“We’re planning on flying outside soon, first around Moffett Field and then further out” Weston says of the electric propulsion airship. LTA, which stands for Lighter Than Air, plans to locate its HQ to Akron Ohio soon.
