Floating City over Venus

In our latest development of an airships transportation system the airship structure was made with the Tensairity system. Is light since is only air (dont consider tensegrity, is something else). That could be s solution , including aalso the docking ability and the modular airship concept

Unique thoughts. Hindenburg used Hydrogen, Highly flammable and explosive. Helium could be used but is a non renewable resource, at least on Jasoom. There are many different gaseous deposits on Venus and the light alloys could be mined at the source as well as processing. For Jasoom, chem-milled Titanium is extremely strong, flexible, and light. Everything else is weight restrictive. This is because, to be of value, it must be fitted with ribs and intercostals, to maintain its shape. Ceramics are good for weight, and maintaining its shape. Ceramics is very brittle and will shatter with impact. Depending on Venusian weather and atmospheric conditions, perhaps the use of propellored mechanisms could be utilized; with multiple arrangements. #yiv6662849373 #yiv6662849373 --
