I do not think that you are correct in your assumption that the front segment of the Argus is the Skysat nose. This statement from the 10K would seem to contradict your belief:
"We are continuing the development of our UAV technologies as they relate to the Argus One and future airships and we have begun testing of the Argus One airship in Easton, MD. We plan to do extended testing of the Argus One at different altitudes and weather conditions over the next several months both in Easton and at other locations as well as demonstrating the capabilities of the Argus One to potential customers. The objective of such testing is to further advance the technological capabilities of the Argus One airship using the data gathered from the tests.
We are also focused on the development of a mid-altitude airship that features a semi-rigid, cigar based, non-modulating design which we call the SkySat. The SkySat airship is a traditional airship design that complements the Argus One family of airships and is designed to carry heavier payloads for longer durations. We believe there is a market for airships like the SkySat with customers who prefer a conventional UAV design for various ISR applications.
Why they would stick the nose of the skysat on a different airship and call it a "new design" just doesn't seem logical.
That is my opinion. You have yours. Thanks for posting it.
I keep telling myself....deep breath....count to ten....try to answer without personal attack...if available, always try to present fact to back up your opinion.
