All kidding aside. The beauty of a blimp is the loiter time and the fuel economy. I could imagine is being used as high observation platform as well as performing heavy lifts over long distances.

I used to read the pulp fiction of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Warlord of Mars books and was always captivated by airships.

That’s why i was wondering about lift capacity.

Say for example it could lift what a C5 lifts. That could come in handy in bringing supplies to areas without access to long runways.

It would just take forever to get there. I guess if you land it near a port and lift a couple hundred miles inland, that would work.
