It's a bird; it's a plane!! It's a ... cloud?! No, it's a massive, once-military-grade hover-capable blimp designed to ...

AT2 Aerospace, the company that continues the Lockheed Martin work on a hybrid airship, hints that it's closer than ever to ...

The result? A potentially more efficient airship design that could pave the way for lighter-than-air exploration and transport. The innovative setup features flexible connecting tubes linking each ...

Pathfinder 1, bankrolled by a Google billionaire, is an attempt to revive the airship. A century after terrifying disasters, is it a safe-enough bet?

Company: Pathfinder 1 is LTA's proof-of-concept airship, built to demonstrate a novel design, engineering, and manufacturing; it is hoped that this will give rise to a new generation of airships.

The primary objective of the project was to design, develop and optimize the ionic thruster system while ensuring its seamless integration with an airship platform. The modeling phase of the thruster ...

The LCA60T incorporates several cutting-edge design elements. Its skeletal frame features a composite beam lattice construction with metal joints. The airship contains 14 non-pressurized helium ...

Long before the first airplanes took to the skies, humans had already overcome gravity with the help of airships. Starting with crude hot air balloons, the 18th century saw the development of more ...

AT2 Aerospace –a Lockheed Martin spin-out and a pioneer in hybrid airship design and manufacturing – announced a significant ...

The idea for details within the ship, such as the lights, body plating and 'tube-like' structures hanging off the wings came from the design of the Krulius. Even the spaceship's frame came from ...

The airship faded into obscurity; just as conventional aircraft design surged ahead. Eighty-six years later in November 2023, Pathfinder 1 emerged for the first time from the historic Hangar Two ...
