In 2016, a report by Transparency Market Research (Anonymous, 2017) estimated that the global airship market would increase in value from $153 million to $273 million by 2024. At stake is a portion of the immense international shipping industry, calculated to generate over half a trillion dollars in shipping fees annually (International Chamber of Shipping, 2020). If large-scale cargo airships can secure their niche in the global transportation network, by 2030 we are likely to witness a new golden era of airship aviation …a new kingdom in the sky.
