Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am developing ObliX, a multirotor-blimp-drone. I am especially interested in making UAVs fly as long and as far as possible while still having FPV contact.

"@Charles BlouinOh, that's great! So you are counting the commutation frequency with reference to the ESC's ground!?"
" Charles Blouin, could you tell me how you measure the rotational speed (rpm)?What effect would it have, if the motor is not mounted in the center of the fixture plate of the dynamometer, but would have a vertical shift of about 50 mm?I am asking…"
"That looks mystical! Can you tell me where I can get these green and blue light threads (bands or stripes or what every you call them), please?"
"David, of course airships can also get their aerostatic lift from hot air. My company, Festo, has a so called Hot Air Airship: http://www.festo.com/cms/en_corp/9818.htmHowever, operating at an acceptable heat would require a volume 4 times as large…"
"Bill, thank you for all the interesting links!If you pay attention to what you type and end up seeing the propeller-cloud, then you know you are right. :)"
"Hi Ben,have a guess! ;)"
Dear DIY Enthusiasts,the team working on the development of the airship-drone ObliX now has an officially registered logo and name: With the new name also comes a completely redesigned website with the new address www.aerobotX.net and lots of…

Applications are especially long duration flights of up to 8 h. These could be
- search & rescue missions over large areas on land or on the sea
- wild life conservation monitoring,
- surveillance e.g. for festivals
- 3D…"

Wow, you have been into the UAV airships business? That's great! I would love to learn from you to avoid doing the same mistakes all over again. Would you be so kind and tell me more about your experiences and learnings from that time? If…"

"@naish88,
The volume of the ballonet could be adjusted by an internal fand and a valve. I haven't spent much time yet to think about this question. Do you have any suggestion?Why do you think that "airships are not really practical machines for…"

"@Thomas,
It is not a rigid hull. It is called a semi-rigid airship because it has an inner frame, wich is not visible in my picture. The purpose of the frame is to hold the empennage and the propulsion system."

"@Thomas,I would indeed be happy if there would be a commercial interest in ObliX later on. :)"
Hey DIY enthusiasts! Today I am proudly presenting to you ObliX argo, the new concept for our airship-drone. ObliX argo can be operated in two flight modes: 1. Airplane mode: Propulsion is mainly supplied by the slow turning stern propeller.…
Hello DIY enthusiasts!Andreas Burkart and his team "Windreiter" are starting a crowdfunding campaign for a DIY blimp, the silent_runner. I flew one myself some time ago and it was really a lot of fun. Being a blimp this aircraft is inherently safe.…
"For the indoor GPS Festo is using Infrared Diodes on the butterflies and IR-Detection cameras in the room."
"JB,
ah, ok, you mean a hybrid airship that is heaver than air. ObliX is not like that.
Curious for your PM. ;)"
