Masdar Institute of Science and Technology will soon host a guest lecture by Don Hartsell, commissioner for the World Air League. The lecture will discuss advances in lighter-than-air aviation (LTA) technology and its potential transformational role in the global economy for this century.
The session will be on 28 May 2014, at the Masdar Institute Auditorium. Don Hartsell said: “Starting with proven engineering of 1920s and 1930s, we will innovate for today to create new markets for green LTA transportation. With LTA solutions, there will be reduced need for building highways, railroads, harbors and runways. Essentially, LTA commerce can eliminate need for building that last 1,000 miles of roads.”
Hartsell will also speak in detail about how the World Sky Race plans to fly airships and zeppelins across the globe in 2016.
