Tropospheric unmanned airships to the Arctic+video
The European concern EADS (EADS 2nd of January 2014 was renamed to Airbus Group) develop an original hybrid airship with a rigid hull. The airship will be built on a "catamaran" and can stay aloft for up to 40 days. First of all, the tropospheric airship is designed for all-weather monitoring of the Arctic, but it is possible and other applications.
Airbus Group is developing an original hybrid airship with a rigid hull.
Tropospheric airship has wings, connecting the two hard shell of the airship. Wings can create both positive and negative lift force. For the course in the bow of the aircraft provided by the engines. The movement of the airship will be powered by electric or diesel engines that are installed on the stern.
Tropospheric unmanned airships to the Arctic
The airship can rise to a height of 5000 meters with aerostatic lifting force, and then will be able to increase the altitude up to 7000 meters with the help of aerodynamics. Use the wings to reduce the amount of shells and to reduce the consumption of helium in the process of operation, compared to the classic airship of the same capacity. In addition, it is argued that katamarana design reduces aerodynamic drag.
The dimensions of airship: length 90 m, width 60 m and height of 8 m that allows you to store it in the hangar. Also, katamarana design allows to increase the maximum speed of the airship to 150 km/h. European airship is designed to operate in the Arctic. First of all, it will map the polar ice, which is important for shipping, which is actively developing in the region. The airship will conduct scientific monitoring of the condition of the ice sheet, global warming, animal populations, etc. he could Also perform tasks for the delivery of goods, search for disaster victims, to conduct environmental monitoring, such as the illegal dumping of waste and oil spills.
The unusual design of the tropospheric airship also is that will use innovative control system of buoyancy, which will allow not only to control the flight altitude, but also to control pitch and roll, see video:
