Airships are back in the minds of many strategists and design engineers. High altitude platforms for surveillance or broad band communications are just some of many studied applications. Aerotube Technology’s Airship Design is uniquely qualified to support these requirements.

We provide improved aerodynamics, which will reduce fuel consumption and result in longer flight duration. But the most intriguing features is our proprietary pressure rigid framework. Extremely lightweight and indestructible under overload. It also makes ballonets obsolete. The independent helium bags are freely expanding inside the pressure rigid framework until ceiling altitude is reached.
