Walrus is distinct from the earlier airship era
vehicles. It will operate heavier-than-air and will
seek to achieve the operating utility of modern
military transport aircraft. It will carry greater
payload, have unimproved landing site capability,
and will provide better transport efficiency. Walrus
will be largest single aircraft ever developed. As
you might imagine, there are numerous challenges
to turning this vision into reality. How will we
construct such an aircraft? What materials and
structures will we use to build it? At over 800 feet
long, how will we control this behemoth?
The writer speaks of pods of Walrus able to carry large numbers of troops and equipment from 'fort to fight' in seven days.
