Goodyear unveils next-gen blimp, first in 45 years
Goodyear on Friday unveiled its first next-generation blimp in 45 years. Technically a German-designed zeppelin, the new airship was built at Goodyear's Wingfoot Lake facility near Akron, Ohio.

But for marketing purposes, Goodyear has decided to keep calling its airships blimps. (news.cnet.com) Más...

How about "Retread"? Since it just uses the old Zeppelin design?
I'd go for "Led Zeppelin!"
Everything old is new again.
When will our imaginations genuinely be stirred?

New Goodyear airship looks familiar but high tech, visitors say
SUFFIELD TWP.: Laura Casenhiser got her first close look at Goodyear’s brand-spanking-new airship Friday morning and liked what she saw.
“It’s really, really different looking,” she said. “I think when people see it in the sky over Akron ... people will really be shocked. It will really be fun. It’s just innovative and high tech.”
Casenhiser was among a group of 50 or so Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. employees and tire dealers who walked around the new Goodyear NT airship at its Wingfoot Lake hangar on Friday. The Akron tire maker unveiled its new semi-rigid airship to the public that morning and announced a contest to name the aircraft.
