I wonder if it would work in Venus atmosphere?



Operating a blimp on Venus would be a bit tougher than on Earth, partly because the density of Venus atmosphere is only 95 % of our air (less lift per lifting gas volume), and also because of the incredibly violent 100 m/s winds, 93 bar pressure and a temperature of 470 °C.
