Concept
•Not Lighter-Than-Air (NOT A BLIMP)
•Aerodynamics provides about half of total lift
•Takeoff and land like an aircraft: wheels on a runway
•Hull is integrated with wing for dynamic lift generating
•Patented structure allows aircraft and airship integration
•Huge Cargo Bay/ Large Useful Gross Weight Capability
•Patented Structure Allows Concentrated Loading of Cargo
•Short Takeoff and Landing Capability
•All Weather Ruggedness
•Long Range/ Persistent Loitering
•5 X the speed of a surface ship
DYNALIFTERS ARE:
PART AIRPLANE
(Total Dynamic Lift)
PART AIRSHIP
(Total Static Lift)
Just Enough Airship for
Good Fuel Economy,
Endurance, Large Cargo
Bays and Emergency
Forgiveness (50%)
Just Enough Airplane
for All Weather Ground
Handling. Insuring
Ruggedness, and Lower
Cost of Operation (50%)
Semi-Buoyant Aircraft
Dynalifter’s do not share the technology
that make conventional airships impractical
Prohibitively Expensive Weight
Barring Skin Construction
Human Brakes = Prohibitively Expensive Payroll
Difficult Ground Handling In Slightest Wind
Cumbersome Weight
Transfer system
Limiting Catenary Curtain Technology and
Ballast Control Systems
Dynalifter’s share key airship properties
Energy Efficiency
• Limited Energy (fuel) is spent on lift
• Low Pollution emissions
• Long Loitering capability
• Good Endurance capability
Accident Forgiveness
Slow Descents
Helium lifts always
High vertical drag
Airshipcraft’s Share Key Aircraft Properties
Safe Ground Handling
Low Cost Operation
Ruggedness
All Weather Operation
Ordinary RO-RO Cargo Handling
All Weather Operations
200,000 lbs of down pressure secures a
(PSC-3) an empty Airshipcraft Freighter
to ground in a 30kts wind.
Ground Operation Rules would
secure the aircraft, or point
Airshipcraft into the wind above
the designed wind loading
