What I’m wondering is, how scalable is this design?

5,000 ft^2 of cabin space is the size of a pretty large suburban house. Could they build a smaller version with something like 1,000 ft^2 of cabin space, more like an airborne houseboat than an airborne megayacht? Or, for that matter, one with 20,000 ft^2, an airborne cruise liner (which was the original Zeppelin ideal).

My understanding of the project is that it was originally designed for military heavy lift capability so, that’s why its so huge. I don’t see why this couldn’t be scaled down a bit. Check out their website, they may already have something on the drawing boards.
