AT airship heated 3D model

The AT airship is a compact, lightweight airship designed specifically for travelers. It is similar in function to an RV/camper and can carry two passengers, 90 kg of cargo, and 90 kg of ballast. Notable features include the use of heated lighter-than-air (LTA) gas as a lifting agent and propellers that push the airship towards the ground for propulsion rather than generating lift. To maintain its altitude, the airship continuously fills with slightly less LTA gas, requiring burners to heat the air in the balloon and create lift. Electric propulsion powers the non-rotatable propellers, which also function as a heat source; a water tank serves as a battery management system, ballast, and water source. A catwalk and seats replace the supporting floor, and winches are present for winching up passengers and mooring, although not essential due to the airship's landing capabilities.
