| Heavy-lifting blimp from DAI |
A Canadian company is buying innovative blimps that can lift 50 tons and travel to the frozen north at 100 knots, staying aloft for several weeks at a time. Hybrid Air Vehicles from the UK will be supplying the first of several by 2014 to Discovery Air Innovations of Canada (DAI).
A little background on the topic here and here. All-weather gravel roads in the north can cost over $1.5 million per mile.

The Vancouver Sun updates the story February 2013. Banks are wary of funding but a federal committee takes note of the promise.
Updated: They let the deal lapse.
