Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, the group that created among others the U-2 and JSF planes, developed a new plane. Or maybe airship is a better name: this huge aircraft is over 60 meters long.
The P-791 is an example of a hybrid airship. Part of the weight of the craft and its payload are supported by aerostatic (buoyant) lift and the remainder is supported by aerodynamic lift. This is an attempt to create an aircraft that is the "best of both worlds" with the high speed of aerodynamic aircraft and the lifting capacity of aerostatic craft.
