Airship New Generation

The Solution that will revolutionaze the world as we know.

We are witnessing a significant change in the way people and businesses move around the world. The ability to transport heavy loads over long distances with much lower carbon emissions than conventional airplanes, airships are becoming an attractive solution for global logistics and a sustainable alternative to traditional means of transport.

 

 

Features of Airships

A new way of transportation

Definition

An airship is a vehicle that navigates in the air, supported by a lighter gas, such as helium or hydrogen, equipped with propulsion engines and control mechanisms.

Safety

It is designed to withstand bad weather conditions and can hover in the air even with their engines stopped, offering greater safety to passengers and cargo.

Structure

Airship NG can be classified as super rigid, becoming the 4th generation of airships. Providing better airworthiness and operational capabilities.

Economics

Airship NG can introduce greater economics into air transport due to their lower operating costs and the possibility of self-sustaining aircraft, furthermore, it requiring minimum or none ground support infrastructure, according to the type of the cargo

Advantages

Exceptional comfort, low noise and vibration levels, good visibility being able to navigate day and night, visually or using instruments, with great autonomy, high load capacity, and no need for ground support infrastructure.

Sustainability

Hydrogen airships have emerged as a sustainable and eco-friendly mode of transportation. Operating on the principles of utilizing alternative fuels, these airships emit significantly fewer greenhouse gases and possess a smaller carbon footprint. By harnessing the power of hydrogen, their environmental impact is substantially reduced.

Super Rigid Structure

It allows the airship to face bad weather situations without compromising stability or structure, hoisting and transporting bulky and heavy loads, and producing aircraft of any size.

Use of Hydrogen

Hydrogen solution to provide buoyancy of the vehicle and its propulsion, state of the art technologies allowing the safer use of this gas, providing a viable solution to Airship NG.

Wings

As a result of the structure solution, the wings will provide maneuverability in general operations, including the required hovering for lifting, loading and unloading operations, also, greater stability in cruise flight and a special condition when anchored.

Buoyancy Control

A solution using heat exchangers allow the precise control of the internal temperature of the hydrogen balloons, providing compensation to cargo handling.

Command and control

The Airship NG, can be controlled from both ends of the aircraft, but also remotely.

Positioning Solution

GPS+INS solution provides the capability of stable hovering over a specific position, which is especially valuable in loading, unloading, and lifting operations. Also, the system provides a safe navigation capability.

Air Curtains

A system of air curtains or air blowers installed in the center line on the top of the airship, provides an air flow to both sides of the aircraft, from top to bottom, at a speed from 35 to 42 m/s, quickly eliminating the drops of water and avoiding heavy rains to increase the airship's weight which can cause buoyancy problems. This device also helps to reduce the pressure in the curved section of the aircraft, improving the vertical thrust performance, which can be used in lifting operations.

Innovative propulsion solution

A special ejector, located at the tail end of the airship, serves a dual purpose. When the airship is in motion, it actively controls the flow of air, generating a unique pressure differential. By exploiting this pressure differential, the ejector creates a thrust-enhancing effect, providing additional propulsion and stability to the airship. This mechanism not only assists in controlling the airship's directional stability, ensuring precise maneuverability and responsiveness but also contributes to overall propulsion, augmenting the airship's forward motion and reducing drag.

Innovative Construction Process

A worldwide patented process to allow the construction of the Airship NG, using reduced resources and mixing old and new solutions.

Modular System for passenger and/or cargo compartments

Mounted in compositions by longitudinal devices, which allow their descent and ascent by cables, enabling operations in restricted spaces and safely.

    Frequently asked questions

    The use of hydrogen gas in the Eternaus Airship solution is completely safe, as it is stored in internal balloons surrounded by an atmosphere of inert helium, reducing the risk of fire or explosion.

    The Eternaus Airship solution features a super rigid structure that allows it to face bad weather situations without compromising stability or structure. Additionally, the use of wings provides greater maneuverability in hovering, lifting, and loading operations, while also ensuring greater stability in cruise flight.

    Yes, the Eternaus Airship solution can hoist and transport bulky and heavy loads due to its super rigid structure and precise control of the internal temperature of the cylinders. Additionally, air curtains on the upper external centerline of the structure can increase thrust when lifting loads.

    Cargo airships can provide a solution for heavy transportation regardless of the urgency created by climate change. Critical mineral deposits are often located in remote areas with challenging terrain and limited access to enabling infrastructure such as roads or grid connectivity. The cost for an Airship program is very reasonable compared to the roads, ports, and other required infrastructure for the current transportation modalities. Airship can also contribute to support sending aid to remote locations in a natural disaster event.

    Yes, Airship NG offers several advantages for reducing costs and minimizing environmental impact. They utilize hydrogen gas for buoyancy, which not only provides efficient lift but also reduces operational expenses.
