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.

GKN PLC - Engineering & Technology

Technology and engineering from GKN is at the heart of the vehicles and aircraft produced by the world's leading automotive, off highway and aerospace manufacturers.

In 1759 Dowlais ironworks opened. From this tiny ironworks on a Welsh hillside, GKN was built into a world leader. Over 250 years, it has changed shape and direction many times, but has always maintained its place at the forefront of engineering.

GKN was there when iron gave birth to the railway boom in the early-1800s, and when steel superseded iron in the 1860s. After the First World War, GKN moved into the 20th century’s greatest new industry – automotive. Later in the century, GKN took to the skies at the forefront of the aerospace industry.

GKN has spread its wings geographically, too. As the balance of economic growth has shifted, from Britain in the 18th and early-19th centuries to America, Western Europe and Japan in the 20th and on to the emerging powers of Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe, GKN has moved with it. Today, GKN is a truly global corporate citizen – with a remarkable history.
