This Alien-Looking Airship Design Used A Propulsion Method Unlike Any Other
Designed to lift heavy loads in and out of nearly anywhere, the LTA 20-1 airship was exotic in pretty much every way.
Magnus Aerospace Corporation's LTA 20-1 had all the hallmarks of 1980s space-age futurism. Its design looked very much out of this world and would have been right at home as an alien spacecraft in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The aerostat featured a highly unique means of propulsion wherein its spherical balloon, once filled with helium, would rotate, lifting it into the air and sending it on its way by what's known as the 'Magnus Effect.'
While the project is now long defunct, which is par for the course for exotic lighter-than-air endeavors of the last 40 years, its history is quite fascinating, and speaks to the current growing interest in lighter-than-air craft.
