Aero-Linx!

Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.

The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.

Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.

Aero Linx: Dynalifter 'Drone Runner'

Developed by Ohio Airships, a Research & Development company focused on the development of the Dynalifter line aircraft, Dynalifters are a fuel-efficient hybrid of fixed-wing airplane and helium airship, providing a set of features unavailable with any single aircraft.  Dynalifters are engineered to carry bigger payloads, further, and cheaper than existing aircraft.

The company founders believe that there is a Dynalifter-shaped hole in the transportation industry -- a hole that is increasing in size due to the emergence of Amazon-like e-commerce package delivery.
