Seattle airplane enthusiasts, feast your eyes on this:
By the looks of it, the bloated blimp in the video is the Lockheed Martin P-791, a "secretly built" hybrid airship that made its first flight last year, according to this article in Aviation Week.
Also according to the article, the P-791 is "not part of a government contract, but rather an independent research and development project by the Skunk Works to better understand airship capabilities and technologies, such as materials. ..."
The article is old but the video appears to be new. It recently appeared on this airship blog and showed up on YouTube Nov. 2. We've messaged the user who posted the video looking for more information.
Anyone out there know more about it?
