StratoBus – a new look at the creation of airships

The company Thales Alenia Space showed its own development of the symbiosis of the probe and airship, which should be implemented in the next five years. The form factor of the atmospheric probe is similar in shape to the airship, the total length of the concept, which was called StratoBus, should be 95 meters. On board the aircraft will fit about 200 kg of cargo to hold this weight will operate two turbines.





It is noteworthy that StratoBus will use solar energy as fuel. Due to the solar panels, the probe will be able to successfully withstand the wind force up to 90 m / s, remaining at one point. The probe will conduct analysis of meteorological data, create images of the terrain in HD-format, it is even planned to broadcast television. The project should be fully autonomous, providing people on board with all the necessary resources for a long stay in the atmosphere. The developers note that their offspring will be able to “feed” sunlight regardless of the time of year.
