i disagree. you could build catamaran-style airships.
that sounds far more expensive and more dangerous.
not worse though, that sounds way cooler.
Building a worse airship is still building an airship.
And name them Akron and Macon.
i was going to name them after match companies but i like your idea
Oh you must be European, if you’re concerned about fires aboard airships. American airships don’t burn; we’ve never been stupid enough to use hydrogen as a lifting gas. USS Akron and USS Macon both crashed, much of the crew of one froze to death and the other proved surprisingly survivable. Compare that to the Hindenberg or R-101.
