"The amount of helium that lighter-than-air craft use around the world--if you include party balloons, weather balloons, anything that floats in the air--it's 15 percent of the global helium market; a fleet of 100 Airlanders would use less than one percent of the world's annual production."

An uplifting element: look, up in the sky, it's a helium-filled balloon, it's ... but first, look in the ground for this vital ingredient that serves a variety of sectors--with potential to serve many more

The projects include a helium-impermeable membrane for use in lighter-than-air craft and weather/high-altitude balloons; a disposable, low-cost autonomous hover vehicle; and a low-sodium fluid and dispenser to reduce pneumonia and chronic lung disease among ventilated intensive care patients.
