The eight-engine blimp is being developed for 40-ton 200-mile hauls in adverse environments such as wildernesses and what Boeing calls places "no other kind of transport can go."

    Blimp logging was tried on Vancouvers North Shore years ago. It would be interestting to dig out the results and cost them in light of today's energy prices and environmental concerns.
