   It seems the current weight limit for cargo blimps is only about 1,400kg, while one of those blades is upwards of 17,000kg.

   Ah, well.

     Back up.

     The smallest ATLANT airship would be able to carry 18,000kg (though it doesn’t list an altitude limit).

     The answer is obvious: inflatable turbine blades.

   75 metres long, three of them per turbine will make 6 megawatts an average 30-40% of the time, for 20-30 years. Rolls Royce reactor pressure vessel will be 11.3 metres long, make 470 megawatts over 90% of the time, for 60 years.
