Super hybrid airships are designed to

solve the problem of delivering any

industrial cargo to any point of land at

any time. And they can do that.

New airships create the new segment

of the air transport market.

Up to now, this problem has not been

solved by any other transport system –

whether it is an airplane or helicopter or

airship of different designs.

The proposed airships unite in one design all the

functional and technical advantages of both

classical and hybrid airships. At the same time

they are spared from their problems. Therefore,

they are called "superhybrid" airships.

For super hybrid airships the following names are used:

“AeroTruck” – cargo airships.

“AeroBoat” – airships for special service: medical, police, fire.

“AeroYacht” – airships for private use.

This result is achieved by providing full wind resistance for

the airship and complete, reliable and accurate

controllability in gusty wind conditions (up to the storm).

The main new element that provides wind resistance and

the necessary controllability in this case is the new multi-

vector propulsion unit of an airship.

Cargo super hybrid (SH) airships have

indisputable competitive advantages over

heavy transport helicopters. General-

purpose SH airships have very great

advantages over general-purpose

helicopters.

Cargo air-planes does not compete with

cargo AeroTrucks because they operate in

two different market segments.

The SH airships has indisputable competitive

advantages with all another types of airship

because they accumulate all their advantages

and do not have their problems.

In vast areas of land, where there are no roads or

the road network is minimal, AT can ensure the

delivery of any industrial goods to any

geographic point of the land without the use of

roads at any time and any season and weather.

Airplanes can’t compete with AeroTrucks:

• Heavy transport aircrafts do not compete with AeroTrucks, as they deliver

heavy industrial (and any other) cargoes only from a serious aerodromes

to another serious aerodromes. And that's all.

• Airplanes have significant limitations for oversized cargo.

• From the airport the cargo must deliver an AeroTruck. Delivery to the

aerodrome, loading, unloading and delivery from the aerodrome are

major problems.

• Not suitable for airplanes cargo will deliver only by AeroTrucks from plant

sites to construction sites directly.

Two systems perfectly complement each other and do not compete.

Super hybrid airships have a complex of functionalities

that ensures significant economic success in the new

substantial segment of the transport market.

Classic airships cannot develop into

a large market segment. Last decades

proved this. Their segment is giving

children a ride at fairs

Hybrid airships with a bearing body

cannot compete, because they require

a runway and are highly weather

dependent.

Hybrid airships with helicopter rotors cannot compete, as they have a

limited range, are not all-weather and not safe enough. They combine in

their design all the same shortcomings and problems that have heavy

transport helicopters and classic airships. This circumstance will not allow

them to enter the market even in the absence of competitors. And

AeroTrucks are doing everything that these airships can, only much

better.

What super hybrid

airship can do• Efficiently and safely fly long distances

with a heavy load like a classic one.

• Carry loads on an external suspension

and operate as a flying crane.

• Deliver cargoes that are several times

greater than their load capacity by

working in pairs or quadruples.

• Lift up and drop cargo (with its own

onboard crane) into the hold.

• Fly with use of vertical propulsor force like

“hybrid with helicopter rotors” airships.

• Hover in the air infinitely like a classic one.

• Fly with use aerodynamic forces of the

body like “hybrid” airships.

• Vertical takeoff and landing in any

weather conditions.

• Parking with using own landing devices.

*Without refuelling on unloading point

Mi-26T

The Mi-26T cargo helicopter is the most powerful on the

planet. The graph shows its possibilities for the delivery of

goods without refueling at the point of unloading. And this

is the limit for helicopters.

AeroTruck AT-120/50AeroTruck AT-120/25

Single cargo AeroTruck AT-120-50 (50 t, an unload ballast)

or AT120-25 (25 t, a controllable ballast) significantly

exceed any helicopter in their transport capabilities.

Cargo AeroTruck AT-120/50

Towboat AeroTruck AT-120/50

AT-120 (if necessary) can easily increase the range of non-

stop delivery using in-flight refuelling (using another AT-

120) or refuelling from the ground or with use of

additional AT-120 as a tow.2 AeroTrucksAT-120/50

AT-120s provide delivery of cargo twice heavy as the

nominal carrying capacity when working in pairs.

4 AeroTrucks AT-120/50

AT-120 provide cargo delivery almost four

times heavier than AT-120 nominal carrying

capacity when working with two pairs.

The unmanned segment (AeroDroids) becomes

significant when tens of thousands of super

hybrid UAVs enter the market.

The military market segment doubles the total

volume of the entire market. This aspect is not

discussed here.

New small passenger super hybrid AeroBoats and

AeroYachts in comparison with utility helicopters are:

• much safer

• much comfortable all cabins

• more economical

• more long distance and unlimited hover time

• no rotors and much less noisy

• no vertical air jet in take off and landing

• full wind-resistance and all-weather operating

• parking in the backyard

• they lose helicopter only at maximum fly speed.

Therefore, it is possible to assume

that half of the helicopter market

segment will go to AeroBoats and

AeroYachts.
