Goodyear is building an advanced carbon-fiber blimp that offers better maneuverability and speed, according to jalopnik.com.
Designed by a German company, the blimp will be the newest generation of Goodyear’s zeppelin fleet. The new fleet will use a carbon fiber and aluminum frame wrapped in a polyester envelope.
