  • Hi Luciano,

    Can you please post the video of operating the A60+ airship.  I'm interested to find out what procedures they used on start up.  I'd say they use traditional aerodynamic lift on take off due to the fact that the thrust is not vectored and as an airship has to be negatively buoyant, this is the only way for them to take off.

    We have a vectored thrust, so say the airship is negatively buoyant by 5kg, but we have 10kg of thrust from the engines, we rotate the engines to give us vertical thrust, climb about 10m in the air and then rotate them horizontally to get forward motion.  This is a much better way to operate.
