Composite Airship Can Transport Troops & Cargo

From troop deployments and military surveillance to mobilizing disaster relief efforts, a new hybrid airship prototype holds promise as an innovative mode of aerial transport. When deployed, the 500-foot-long Aeroscraft airship will provide increased capacity to move massive loads into remote areas, including fragile terrains, says Mansoor Kouchak, vice president of engineering for manufacturer Aeros Aeronautical Systems Corp. in Montebello, Calif. The vessel’s carbon composite and aluminum shell is central to the airship’s expansive payload capabilities as it provides structural strength for the craft, which has an anticipated range of 3,100 nautical miles and an estimated airspeed of 110 knots.
