Insolvency proceedings are on hold for the time being as Cargolifter hunts for a last-minute bailout. aerospace giant Boeing to develop commercial blimps, but few analysts feel the company will step in to save Cargolifter. The company struck a deal earlier this month to work with U.S. Personally I assign 20 cargolifters to trade ships, 10 to combat ships/CVs & 40-60 to stations (stations need 20 per docking port, for multiple trades) 5 construction drones to traders, 10-20 to combat ships (depending upon whether theyve a defensive or aggressive role) & 20 to stations/CVs.

This service was based on the development of a heavy lift airship, the CL160, a 550,000 m3 (19,000,000 cu ft) vessel designed to carry a 160 t (160,000 kg 350,000 lb) payload. Once seen as a promising entrepreneurial newcomer in the turbulent economic landscape of the country's former East German states, the scrappy startup was developing giant airships to transport heavy payloads over vast distances. CargoLifter hopes to pull in revenue using the CL 75 in Canada by the third quarter of 2002. Cargolifter AG was a German company founded in 1996 to offer logistical services through point-to point transport of heavy and outsized loads. German airship-developer Cargolifter said on Tuesday it had run out of cash and would be unable to meet payroll for its close to 500 employees in May.
