Hybrid Airship: No Roads, No Problem
MORE than two-thirds of the world’s land area and more than half the world’s population have no direct access to paved roads. This lack of infrastructure presents incredible challenges for the resource extraction industries and has left many identified deposits undeveloped, including the Ambler region of Alaska, deposits in sub-Saharan Africa, and regions in the Andes.
