Synopsis

Lighter than a feather yet stronger than steel, Graphene

will carry you through the air someday.


Before airplanes crossed the oceans, gigantic gas-filled airships cruised serenely between Europe and North and South America. The horrific 1937 crash of the Hindenburg, the pride of Nazi Germany, ended that phase of passenger travel, and more than twenty years passed before heavier-than-air passenger airliners could cross the Atlantic again. In Graphene, Alexandra Shultz's dream of reviving that lost age of air travel comes true when she enters a proposal for a Lighter-Than-Air (LTA) cruise ship into an entrepreneur's contest, and billionaire venture capitalist Max Brita becomes a believer. Together they take the LTA concept and the miraculous new material Graphene into products and vessels the original dirigible designers never would have dreamt of.
