While You Weren’t Looking, Engineers Combined a Plane and a Blimp to Make a Plimp Airship

I like the headline! But … Plimp? … Please, no. What a terrible name. 

What happens when you cross a blimp with a plane, and give it a few helicopter features? A lighter-than-air plimp-hybrid airship is born, according to a Seattle-based company looking for investors.

Ah, looking for investors! Well, I don’t have four million dollars just sitting around waiting for me to buy my very own Plimp, but sure, I wish the company luck. Airships are just sort of neat.

And just call them “airships.” That’s a much cooler word.
