Launch HN: Buoyant (YC S21) – Blimp drones for air freight
Don't take this the wrong way but...<p>I think its hard to avoid the elephant in the room that blimp cargo has been a dream ever since the invention of the blimp, and if we put your technology claims to one side (because they are more an assistant, not an enabler) I'm not too sure what makes you any different ?<p>Look at what is perhaps your most recent competitor ... Flying Whales.<p>Going since 2012, burning through cash like there's no tomorrow ($30m Quebec, €225m France etc. etc.) , and so far maybe promising some sort of prototype by 2024 (already slipped from 2021).<p>What <i>really</i> makes you so different from prior dreamers and in particular your present competitors ?
