It’s a neat concept, but you’d need all rigid framework to hold them up, the only other problem is possibly weight (I don’t know how much they weigh so it might not be a problem) but that could be very ecenomic with something in the style of the old WW1 height climbers, which could fly above large cloud cover. Not really ascociated, but a picture of the R101 looks like it has solar panels on top! (of course just the style of outer covering but still, maybe a premonition:))…

Hey I just suddenly got re-interested in airships about two hours ago (after several years of not-so-intensive admiration for airships) and I have this question I havent been able to answer by myself or using the internet. I am familiar with the fact, that modern airships use helium or hot air just to make them super-light while engines do the rest of the job. So here comes the question: Are there any modern airships, that would use engine(s) powered by solar panels attached to the semi-rigid construction. And would it even be possible to generate enough electricity on an airship comparable in size and wight to the Zeppelin NT?

The images and logos carried by Eureka are paid advertising; the ship is owned by Airship Ventures.

Is the graphic something that was used for promotional purposes only, or is this zeppelin owned by Disney?

The Helium provides “only” 95% of the Lift. About 5% have to be given by arodynamical force. This fact makes sure, that the Zeppelin returns back.

I don’t understand your comment about this being a heavier-than-air craft. It’s not. It’s a semi-rigid airship filled with helium, which provides the lift.

I have long been interested in Lighter than air vehicles. Though this is actually a heavier than air craft it is winderful to see them back in the air and carrying passengers. Well Done!!

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

ich bin aus der Republik Armenien. Ich habe an der Agraruniversität der Republik Armenien studiert und vom 2. April bis 31. Dezember 2008 habe ich Zeppelin Service Engineer qualification programme erfolgreich abgeschlossen. Ich beherrsche die Deutsche Sprache und träume von einer kurzfristigen Arbeit in Deutschland, was für meine Fortbildung sehr nützlich wäre. Wenn es möglich ist, könnten Sie mir bitte schreiben, ob ich bei Ihnen arbeiten darf.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Gagik Nahapetyan (27 Jahre alt)
