CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A HYBRID ELECTRIC BLIMP WITH COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM

thingiverse

The provided text appears to be a concept for a hybrid airship design. It describes various features and systems of the proposed aircraft, including: 1. Turbine-based propulsion: A mixed system combining normal compressed air with hot air to increase pressure in a bifunctional helix. 2. Dual propellers: Inner propellers using compressed air from the turbine and external propellers driven by a separate motor for extra thrust. 3. Auxiliary compressor pump system: An auxiliary pump to increase the efficiency of compressing air, used to further increase pressure in the airship. 4. Combination of gases: Helium gas with hot air used to lift the airship, potentially advantageous or unnecessary depending on circumstances. Some design aspects also suggest improvements over traditional airships: 1. **Solar Power**: Generating power from solar panels attached to the airship's body and using this power for electric propulsion, allowing for more efficient and eco-friendly operations. 2. **Flexible photovoltaic plates**: To cover the entire body of the airship (except wings), utilizing metal wings where solar heat could compromise energy efficiency. 3. **Ramp for Landing**: The concept proposes a landing gear system with an integral ramp. This multi-function device facilitates landing on flat surfaces by inserting and anchoring into tracks or latches, doubles as a loading and offloading area via ramps that fork trucks can use to transport cargo within the load module directly. Additionally, there's an indication of navigable maneuverability using nozzles located at the wing tips which when controlled can slow down backwards movement or sidestepping the craft with turns into itself depending on nozzle control directions applied by power. Given these are concepts presented rather than technical analyses from engineers trained in physics or mechanical engineering they remain more ideas open to expert criticism before practical construction begins
