Future airships<\/h2>\n

The main innovations in actual airships projects focus on four different domains:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Vectorization<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It is basically to strengthen the power of the engines and propellers, to hope to be stronger than the complex and poorly understood effects of wind near the ground.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Lift variation<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      In flight, the lift of the airship is equal or very close to its weight. It is for this reason that the apparatus is abused near the ground in the wind: the wind lifts it too easily and prevents it from landing. The lift variation is to compress a portion of the helium in pressurized tanks on board. The airship becomes \u00ab\u00a0heavier than air\u00a0\u00bb and its weight pins it to the ground.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Hybridization<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The goal is still to be \u00ab\u00a0heavier than air\u00a0\u00bb while taking off and during flight. When it has a velocity relative to the air, the airship noses up so as to create a \u00ab\u00a0dynamic\u00a0\u00bb lift complementary to the \u00ab\u00a0static\u00a0\u00bb helium lift. When he takes off and when it lands, propellers provide the additional lift needed.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Flat-bottomed rigid shell<\/strong><\/em>\n

          \"DS1500_Dirigeable_Dirisolar\"<\/a>

          Dirisolar DS1500<\/p><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The envelope shape is asymmetrical between the up and down. The top is curved while the bottom is less and close to a flat surface. This asymmetry makes that close to the ground, the wind pins the device to the ground instead of lifting it.<\/p>\n

          Airships in the world today<\/h2>\n

          Since 1995, many new innovative projects are launched for tourism development and loads transportation.<\/p>\n

          \"ZeppelinNT\"<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n

          2001 :\u00a0development of the Zeppelin NT in Germany. It is the only device performing commercial flights today.<\/p>\n

          In 2013 a dozen airships fly in the world. Zeppelin NT only has a profitable commercial operation in Friedrichshafen. The airship reached an availability of approximately 66%, higher than all other existing\u00a0or existed airships . But this unparalleled uptime has not allowed this device to be commercially successful: only six units have been sold since 2001.<\/p>\n

          The airship has been recognized as a means of transportation for the future by various recent studies of markets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

          For twenty years, significant innovation efforts have been made to find ways to improve the low operational availability of airships, the main obstacle to its exploitation. Five countries, France, USA, Great Britain, Germany and Russia have seen, in twenty years, thirty innovative projects.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          Airships today in France<\/h2>\n

          In France, the creation in 1998 of Class 5 ULM allowed eight researchers \/ individual\u00a0entrepreneurs, passionate about the issue of airship, to achieve a manned prototype with a major innovation.<\/p>\n

          French legislation makes it possible for these approved ULM to fly under the sole responsibility of the manufacturer, without the need for certification or approval by state agencies.<\/p>\n

          None of these eight projects, however, resulted in an industrial or commercial application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
