I was looking at that then I realized they was going to be 7 air ships. Aeronautical distance from Schefferville to Strange lake is 135 Km. 270 return. That equates to just under 145 Kts return air Kts. Air speed being at 60 Kts places total round flight times around 2.5 hrs. So in order to transport 200,000 T they would required each unit to fly 10 to 11 hrs out of a 24 hr period I would expect they would be double shifted. Thereby allow for on & off loading, service, repairs and holiday down times . Truck, Air or Rail transportation usually operates 24/7 where ever opportunity presents it's self. Please Correct me if my calculations are in error and I overlooked something. Below is from L/H Martin Capable of carrying 47,000 lb. of payload and up to 19 passengers over ranges up to 1,400 nm at a cruise speed of 60 kts, Lockheed Martin’s hybrid airship offers lower cargo transport costs to remote areas that road and current air alternatives cannot match.
