Hello (and question) to all

I am brand new to this board, and I apologize in advance for asking questions that many may have asked before. I am a shareholder in this company by way of disclosure.

I have read through the last several hundred posts and looked at all the technical information linked to PRs and articles. My questions are technical, if anyone knows the answers or can direct me to posts/articles/people who do I'd be much obliged.

1. What is the physical method of deployment? The airships are lighter than air I know, but to accurately place them in the stratosphere will be difficult, given that they will need to rise through the lower atmosphere where they will be subject to wind and weather patterns to get to the stratosphere. Do they intend to guide it by tether?

2. In order to remain stationary they will rely on electric motor driven propellors powered by solar cells. I've read that the air is so thin in the stratoshere that even heavy wind will have little effect helping to keep it stationary. However, propellors rely on air to push against, to develop force and presumably will have to work harder to move the craft. I would guess that the energy requirements would be similar or identical to a craft in a lower atmosphere at higher air pressure. Have they addressed in more technical terms than the PRs the methods they intend to use?

I have a bunch more technical questions, I guess that the answers are proprietary and will need to be trialed. But I wonder if there is published source of technical data, journal article or patent filing that better explains the airship aspect, rather than the communications platform aspect, which I am very comfortable with.

TIA,

David
