Aeros video animation showing the design it developed under DARPA's Walrus programme for an ultra-large cargo-carrying hybrid airship - combining bouyant lift, aerodynamic lift and powered lift to take-off and land vertically without ground infrastructure. The Walrus programme was cancelled before anything was built, but Aeros continues to develop the Aeroscraft
