Abstract
Since the successful experiences of the human being for flying since the late nineteenth century, the Air Transport has established itself like a technological presence. The aerostat has been treated as the "ship-to-air" and has been more adaptable to transport of passengers and cargo, even after the appearance of heavier-than-air. In expanding of road systems, the option for airship resurges like the best option. The Blimp-Hybrid-Multimission is the great solution as the best and single complement than all other types. In 1982 an airplane for 200 passengers costs U.S. $25 million, while the Airship should cost half or less, with the same load capacity. The price of oil derivatives are vectors that push the world for employment-intensive transport almost extinct in the last century. Favorable weather and conditions, in many places of the world, allow uninterrupted operation almost all the year with economic advantages and high rate of return on investments.
