CargoLifter

Cargolifter AG was a German company founded in 1996 to offer logistical services through point-to point transport of heavy and outsized loads. This service was based on the development of a heavy lift airship, the CL160, a 550,000 m vessel designed to carry a 160-tonne payload. The airship was never built and the company went bankrupt in 2002. Today the shareholder-founded CL CargoLifter GmbH & Co. KG company seeks to continue selling the lighter-than-air technology.
