Hello, Blimps? Yeah, this is Airplanes. Yeah, you win.

 Airships might not be quite what you think of when someone mentions near future science fiction economic horror with zombies. They are a little bit 1930's for most peoples tastes, what with the burning and the explosions and the oh the humanity. But as it turns out, airships are starting to look very much like they are going to be making a huge come back, thanks to the magical powers of HELIUM! A resource we have shamelessly wasted on kids party ballons for decades, shame on us.

Meet the Aeroscraft , a semi-rigid hull Hybrid Airship funded by DARPA.

It is currently being reported that the U.S. military has ordered a number of the children of this craft as as transport vehicles.  Once operational, the US Military versions will be the largest Aircraft to take to the skies in the past eighty years.

Built with carrying capacities of up to 500 tons and a range of around 3000 miles, and no need for a runway, these behemoths are likely to change battlefield logistics vastly.

In Red Markets, the DHQS could well run larger operations out of such vehicles. Using it to ferry weapons vehicles and personnel to an operation zone.  Which they can then sit above like a stationary AC-130 Hercules.

In short, if the DHQS has an asset like this in the field, Takers really aught to take notice.
