Who Wants to Rent This Blimp?
Behold the Bullet 580, the world’s largest blimp. It’s 71m long, 19m in diameter and it’s available to rent – if you have $300,000 for a month. If you should choose to spend your hard-earned beer money on this sucker, you’ll need about six hours to inflate it with helium. The balloon is made from a kevlar material which is ten times stronger than steel, and the blimp can hold up to 2,000lbs and travel 6,096m high. It can even hit a top speed of 80mph.
Costing $8 million, the Bullet 580 is the world’s largest blimp, measuring 71m long, and 19m in diameter. Able to be flown remotely or with a crew, you could rent it—for over $300,000 a month.
While it will seriously be available to rent at some point, its first test flights are scheduled for this summer, so it may be a while before you’ll finally get to pilot an airship.
