The Rich Now Have Their Own Airship Half As Big As The Hindenburg

The airship’s cargo capacity, which is more what it is intended for, is more impressive, with the ability to carry between 4,440 and 11,000 pounds. The Pathfinder 1 currently calls a massive hangar in Mountain View, California, home, but it’ll be taking a trip outside since the company received a special airworthiness certificate that will allow them to fly the ship within the boundaries of Moffett Field and Palo Alto Airport.

The Pathfinder 1 is a proof of concept, but the team also has the massive 591-foot Pathfinder 3 currently in the works. They plan to build it in a colossal hangar in Akron, Ohio, which can house a ship up to 984 feet.
