(Source: news.gmw.cn)A giant airship lumbered into the skies in front of the former military base in Tustin. The 266-foot-long aeroscraft was built by Worldwide Aeros Corp. with more than $50 million in funding from the Pentagon and NASA to demonstrate a novel buoyancy system that enables the airship to carry heavy loads -- and to move vertically with the precision of a helicopter.
