The new model of an aluminium Airship has lot to offer for the 21st century. An aluminium Airship called Aeroscraft has the potential to change the future of travel in military applications, air freight, air cruise tourism, and more. The aluminium airship is claimed to be lighter than air in the sky.

The giant aluminium airship is 81 meters long and 30 meters wide, with the full ship at 122 meters and can lift at least 66 tons of cargo. The Aeroscraft is made of aluminium and carbon fibre. It is helium-powered, and can lift vertically without depending on any wind beneath its wings.
The United States has spent $50 million on this project for the military operational purpose and for its support in disaster relief. NASA has also extended help for this project.
In 2013, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed between IcelandAir Cargo and Aeros to build Aeroscraft as a solution for remote areas without roads and related delivery infrastructure. The company said, "Infrastructure costs become barriers to recovering resources, as it is difficult to get cargo from point-of-origin to point-of-need."

Aeroscraft CEO Igor Pasternak said he always wanted to become an airship designer because there was less competition in the genre and the sky was the limit. He explained, "The next development is to move the stuff without infrastructure. Because in the end it's all about costs, and an airship is much, much cheaper. You're not spending any energy for lift."
The design of the aluminium airship reflects high-end aesthetics but is basically pure aerodynamics in action. It is the disruptive technologies that endow the aircraft with vertical flight capabilities and stand to change the future of flight forever.
