Not as large as the Cargolifter, which has only been built as 1:8 model for testing, but still impressing.
yeah not as big as an imperial star destroyer either! clickbait titles ruining the internet
I don't think that the Imperial Star Destroyer qualifies as air ship.

I just stated that there was a more ambitious project that would have worked, but unfortunately ran out of money. I am impressed that Pathfinder 1 was actually built.
Ok? You can't really call it the largest airship when it was never built.
I propose a new airship design called Cargohauler, it's basically a Cargolifter but scaled up 2x. Your puny Cargolifter is nothing in comparison to my Cargohauler
This just in, I am proposing a new design called the JumboPumper. It is like your puny Cargohauler, but 4x as large!

One-upping is aggressive. The better way to say it would be: "there was a more ambitious project that would have worked, but unfortunately ran out of money".
OK. I didn't intend to sound aggressive.
Pathfinder 1 is only built at 1:10 scale though, so it's actually much larger than Cargolifter.
The article states Pathfinder 1 is 124 m long, but does not say that its a 1:10 model. However, Cargolifter CL160 would have been 260 m long.
