# Self-Sustaining Airships Lieven Standaert Designs a Self-Sustaining Zeppelin By Jordan M | Published 2011-01-21 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lieven-standaert References: [aeromodeller2.be](http://www.aeromodeller2.be/) When it comes to public opinion on the safety and practicality of zeppelins, Hindenburgsight is 20/20, but Lieven Standaert hopes to change all that with his revolutionary idea for a completely self-sustaining [airship](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-walkers). The craft would supply all of its own power by employing [propellers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Portable-Wind-Generator) that could turn into [hydrogen-generating wind turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-blanc). This is a brilliant innovation that would ideally remove the need to constantly visit refueling stations and allow the zeppelin to stay airborne indefinitely. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Self-sustaining Airships:** The trend of designing airships that can generate their own power and stay airborne indefinitely. - **Hydrogen-generating Wind Turbines:** The trend of using wind turbines on airships to generate hydrogen for self-powering. - **Revolutionary Airship Design:** The trend of creating innovative airship designs that challenge traditional notions of safety and practicality. ### Where This Applies - **Aerospace:** The aerospace industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities in self-sustaining airships to revolutionize air travel. - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can leverage the concept of hydrogen-generating wind turbines on airships to enhance sustainable energy production. - **Transportation:** The transportation industry can benefit from the development of revolutionary airship designs for efficient and eco-friendly transportation solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seafaring Sky Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airyacht.md) - [Luxurious Superyacht Airship Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colossea.md) - [Ultrasonic Balloon-Borne Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blimp-drone.md) - [Zero-Emission Solar-Powered Aircrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/falcon-horizon.md) - [Renewable Energy Aircrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-aircraft.md) - [Eco-Friendly Stratospheric Aircrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sceye-haps.md) - [Futuristic Bladeless Planes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jetopetra.md) - [Wind-Powered Flying Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-flying-car.md) - [Zero-Emission Flying Saucers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeva-zero.md)
