Can anyone recommend a polyurethane supplier that can supply the kind of PU needed to make blimp envelopes?

    http://www.airtimekite.com/ sells bladders for kites.

    Their Orange bladder material is an EVOH/LDPE laminate - very tough and light weight, and much easier to heat seal than PU. For making a long thin blimp - a hyperblimp - you could do worse than buying the biggest leading edge bladder they have (about 24 inches circumference) and working from there.

    Hi,

    Here is a source for pre-made Polyurethane envelopes and motors. I use the 1/3 oz motors on my 6 ft blimp.
