Hybrid air vehicles - Airships

Hybrid Air Vehicles is one of the world's leading exponents of 'Lighter-Than-Air' (LTA) technology, with the world's most experienced team specialising in designing, building and certifying LTA systems.

The growing world demand for raw materials and the increasing threat of global terrorism is driving the need for novel solutions to the requirements for heavy lift transportation and surveillance / communications with the minimum environmental impact. Hybrid Air Vehicles' products directly address all of these requirements in a cost effective manner.  The SkyCat series' advantages allow the creation of a transport system that can interface with existing transport modes. Operational capabilities result in almost zero impact on the environment by avoiding the need to construct runways or roads.

Core team members have been involved in LTA development for more than 35 years and these projects have seen development and operational spending in excess of half a billion dollars. The US Navy airship program in the period 1987-95 provided core team members with the opportunity to develop and test totally new systems, and subsequent developments have advanced the technology significantly.
