    I don’t think that the Imperial Star Destroyer qualifies as air ship.

        I just stated that there was a more ambitious project that would have worked, but unfortunately ran out of money. I am impressed that Pathfinder 1 was actually built.

  Ok? You can’t really call it the largest airship when it was never built.

  I propose a new airship design called Cargohauler, it’s basically a Cargolifter but scaled up 2x. Your puny Cargolifter is nothing in comparison to my Cargohauler

    This just in, I am proposing a new design called the JumboPumper. It is like your puny Cargohauler, but 4x as large!

      One-upping is aggressive. The better way to say it would be: “there was a more ambitious project that would have worked, but unfortunately ran out of money”.

        OK. I didn’t intend to sound aggressive.

  Pathfinder 1 is only built at 1:10 scale though, so it’s actually much larger than Cargolifter.

    The article states Pathfinder 1 is 124 m long, but does not say that its a 1:10 model. However, Cargolifter CL160 would have been 260 m long.
