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 exciting new content. Have a look at our “ObliX -vs- Octocopter” comparison on the airship page, browse through a beautiful library or even apply for one of the jobs offered on our join page.
You have found a mistake on our website or have an idea for improvement? Please let us know!
Very much looking forward to your feedback!
Daniel and team aerobotX

Less logo & name, less CGI renderings, more actual airship drone.
Very interesting Daniel thanks for the info.
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.htm
However, operating at an acceptable heat would require a volume 4 times as large as for helium.
It would kill the batteries but a heater would be an interesting replacement for helium. I don't know anything about balloons so no ide if airships can work that way or just hot air balloons.
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. :)
Looks cool, though your domain name is going to hard to filter from the noise

Hi Ben,
have a guess! ;)
What's it going to use, given that we are running out of helium?
