For the humanitarian use case, how quickly could an airship landing zone be established? I assume it's more than a helipad (empty dirt field) but far less than a runway (FOD-free, long, flat, straight, paved).
I wonder if the airship could deliver it's own LZ kit in a delicate touch-and-go slash hover.
The article briefly mentions repurposing yachts and that made me think of hospital ships. I wonder if you could reconfigure the internal space as a go-anywhere hospital (or at least, a set of operating rooms) or if it just makes more sense to deploy a standard field hospital with tents.
