  Capable of carrying 47,000 lb. of payload and up to 19 passengers over ranges up to 1,400 nm at a cruise speed of 60 kts, Lockheed Martin’s hybrid airship offers lower cargo transport costs to remote areas that road and current air alternatives cannot match.  

  The LMH-1 derives 80% of its lift from the buoyancy of helium gas and 20% from the aerodynamic lift generated by the shape of the tri-lobed vehicle and the thrust of its four propeller engines.
