Come take a ride on my airship

This is a 120 foot semi-ridged airship. The grey rectangle is roughly a scale human.
It will be hybrid pedal/electric powered with the ability to either use your feet, hands, or both. I will also be attaching folding masts to use sails. When under sail the propellers become wind turbines.

The propellers

  1. If, you can have ground anchor(s), or a sea barrel anchor possibly with motor, that will hold good enough against the wind and angle the ship slightly up so its not pushed to the ground/water you could theoretically use the props to run the generator(s) to recharge batteries.
