Rufus Porter came up with this idea in the late 1840's to get people from New York to the California gold fields in just 3 days.
FLYING MACHINES - Rufus Porter
A very large (800 feet in length and 50 feet in diameter) compartmented helium filled "spindle" driven by two steam engines turning propellers. The spindle also rotated to cut down on air resistance.
Gotta go get some gold.
