"Want do you want to bet this thing is a huge jet-set hit?" I don't know how this thing can avoid the same problems that destroyed the Macon and its sister ships the Shenandoah, and the Akron. These huge airships are aerodynamically incapable of dealing with wind shear.
Can you imagine trying to land one of these things in Atlanta during a summer thunderstorm?

They avoid it by not being derigibles - no rigid structure. Bounces like a mylar baloon (which it is).
You can try to make a rigid structure, or you can decide to do without - which this thing does.
