2024/06/02 Xoogler LTA (Lighter Than Air) Moffett Visit and Lunch

A big thanks to Kerah for organizing this visit of LTA at Moffett Hanger 2 for OG Xooglers. A few of us met up sunday morning to get a guided tour:

We met at hangar 2, which has been hosting LTA for the last few years. I wish I had pictures of the inside, but we were requested not to take any, so I complied. Inside had the current version of the newest airship LTA designed and built, it was pretty massive. They are using some new manufacturing techniques to build an inside frame quicker than via other methods, probably lighter too I assume. The shape with motors allows for a speed of 80 to 100kts which isn't bad for an airship:



The presentation was very insightful, but I'm not sure if there will be a real market for airships, given their limited speed, and limitations on how they can be used. Time will tell.

After a nice tour and presentation, we did a group picture and went to have lunch at a new google building with a cafe for visitors:
