Could something like this actually work?
Saw an article today about an aircraft that would change it's buoyancy, so
it would float up like a balloon and then change buoyancy and glide down. Interesting stuff, although I doubt we'll see it anytime soon. Is something like this even practical? The article says they take the aircraft up 10 miles to get 400 miles range, I would think ATC wouldn't like the idea of a free balloon (which is what it would be at that point) up in the flight levels. http://www.machinedesign.com/ASP/vie...PACE&catId=379 -- Louis Perley III N46000 - KBJC |
