Airships

Lindstrand Technologies normally builds airships to specific end use and since the design and manufacture is in house, airships of almost any sizes can be built to client’s requirements.

Airships are always free flying and can use either lifting gas (such as helium or hydrogen) or heating the air like a hot air balloon. Airships are more weather sensitive than aerostats, but are equally at home in the tropics as in the artic. Since airships are large they create a lot of drag and are only used when speed is not of importance.

Airships are excellent surveillance vehicles for the police and the military. They are also widely used for scientific research such as earth mapping, diamond hunting and mine detecting.
