Nothing should surprise us about Silicon Valley’s increasingly intense love affair with aviation at this point, and yet here we are, wondering what’s going on inside a hangar at the NASA Ames Research Center. While Larry Page made headlines this week with the highly-anticipated unveiling of the Kitty Hawk Flyer, his Google co-founder Sergey Brin has also reportedly been working on an aircraft. And like Page, whose initial involvement with Zee.Aero and Kitty Hawk was shrouded in secrecy, Brin is also quiet about his project.
Google Co-founder Sergey Brin is Rumored to be Building His Own Airship
Key Takeaways:
- Google co-founder Sergey Brin is secretly developing a "massive airship" at NASA Ames, drawing inspiration from the historic USS Macon airship, unlike Larry Page's flying car project.
- The project, possibly involving former NASA Ames director Alan Weston, is believed to aim at revolutionizing cargo transport with an airship potentially capable of lifting up to 500 tons.
- Brin's endeavor places him in a growing field of cargo airship development, which also includes companies like Hybrid Air Vehicles.
