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:
- Sergey Brin is secretly developing a "massive airship" at the NASA Ames Research Center, distinct from Larry Page's flying car ventures.
- The airship is inspired by the historic USS Macon and involves former NASA Ames director Alan Weston.
- Its potential purpose is to revolutionize cargo transportation, with Weston envisioning a helium-based airship capable of lifting up to 500 tons more fuel-efficiently than trucks.
