Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. will team up with another name rich in blimp history to replace its three U.S. airships with bigger, faster ones, according to an Associated Press story. The company will work with German manufacturer ZLT Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik to build three new blimps beginning in 2013. According to Lycoming officials, each blimp will be powered by three Lycoming IO-360 engines.
