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
PART AIRSHIP (Total Static Lift) PART AIRPLANE (Total Dynamic Lift) DYNALIFTERS ARE: Just Enough Airplane for All Weather Ground Handling. Insuring Ruggedness, and Lower Cost of Operation (50%) Just Enough Airship for Good Fuel Economy, Endurance, Large Cargo Bays and Emergency Forgiveness (50%) Semi-Buoyant Aircraft
Difficult Ground Handling In Slightest Wind Dynalifter’s do not share the technology that make conventional airships impractical Prohibitively Expensive Weight Barring Skin Construction Human Brakes = Prohibitively Expensive Payroll Cumbersome Weight Transfer system Limiting Catenary Curtain Technology and Ballast Control Systems
Dynalifter’s share key airship properties Accident Forgiveness Slow Descents Helium lifts always High vertical drag Energy Efficiency Limited Energy (fuel) is spent on lift Low Pollution emissions Long Loitering capability Good Endurance capability
Airshipcraft’s Share Key Aircraft Properties Safe Ground Handling Low Cost Operation Ruggedness All Weather Operation Ordinary RO-RO Cargo Handling
200,000 lbs of down pressure secures a (PSC-3) an empty Airshipcraft Freighter to ground in a 30kts wind. All Weather Operations Ground Operation Rules would secure the aircraft, or point Airshipcraft into the wind above the designed wind loading
AN INTERESTING COMPARISON... Same engines as the C-130 >3 times Gross Weight of 2 C-130's ~4 times Gross payload of 2 C-130's >12 times payload volume Phase 1 Baseline Concept ~same operating cost!
