Airships – the moveable infrastructure
More than two thirds of the planets’ surface area and half of the world ́s population lack suitable roads. The lack of infrastructure raises several challenges for humanitarian support, extraction of nature resources and transports of heavy and bulky cargo.
Efficient Point-to-point transportation
Hybrid Airships is the only means of transportation that enables cargo to be transported from nearly any location in the world to another – without transshipment or external support and with very low CO2-emissions.
Redefining the future of sustainable air transportation
Hybrid airships make it possible to transport heavy cargo and personnel to remote locations around the world with small or no requirements for infrastructure. Ecofriendly, with reasonable operating costs and with a high level of safety, hybrid airships will redefine the term sustainability in air transportation.
Hybrid Airships
A hybrid airship is a powered aircraft that obtains some of its lift as a lighter-than-air (LTA) airship and some from aerodynamic lift due to its aerodynamic shape. The combination results in a very efficient aircraft that significantly reduces the amount of energy required, thus expanding the endurance, range and CO2-emissions compared to other aircraft.
