New idea - flying Walrus

[See previous new idea]

What happens if you combine a blimp, an airplane and a Harrier jump jet? You get an immense aircraft called the Walrus:

Walrus program launched to research large airlift vehicle

From the article:There is also this: "It is intended to carry a payload of more than 500 tons 12,000 nautical miles in less than seven days at a competitive cost." That makes it sound something like an airborn navy.

Lots of photos in this article.
