Excursion
Explorer
Goodwill
Inspiration
Pride of Goodyear
Resolute
Wingfoot One
The tyre maker has invited to US residents to vote for their favourite name from this list; the winning name should meet four stated criteria: Acknowledge “Goodyear’s ongoing track record of delivering superior performance and innovation”; reflect the “storied history and tradition of the Goodyear Airship”; resonate with the “Goodyear airships’ long history of public service and community engagement”; and reflect the grace and majesty of lighter-than-air flight”. Voting closes 9 May.
