Abstract
This invention relates to the field of buoyant aircraft and operation thereof, in particular, airships for lifting heavy and/or oversized loads. According to the present invention it would be advantageous to provide a airship that can lift heavy and/or oversized loads of several tons or more. The present invention is directed to an airship that will be able to load and unload heavy or oversized loads or payloads. The purpose of the airship of the present invention is to transport heavy and/or oversized payloads or act as a flying crane that requires a minimal infrastructure on the ground. The airship of the present invention uses the leverage of positive buoyancy to lift and transport payloads; using a fraction of the energy that a Vertical take off and landing aircraft ('VTOL'), such as a helicopter, would for the same payload weight. The airship of the present invention may also be able to lift far heavier loads than any existing helicopter.
