World's biggest airship inflated

Story and video here.

The mysterious "Water Condensate Recovery System" is no mystery to any airship fan. It involves condensing water from the engine exhaust to help balance fuel weight loss, and it was used way back in the heyday of airships.

Note the condensers running up the side of the Akron (circa 1931) below.

More on the Akron here.
