International Conference On Electric Airships
10141
Flexible thin-film solar cells, highly efficient power electronics, and lightweight batteries enable the construction of a new generation of airships. This includes drones, high altitude airships, and airships for cargo and passenger transport. In particular, airships can be used in the future for:
- transport to remote areas
- sustainable cargo transport
- transport of heavy loads
- sustainable passenger transport
- monitoring and surveillance of e.g. pipelines, high power transmission lines
- provision of telecom and internet connections
- tourism transport, recreation, and sightseeing
- humanitarian aid, disaster relief
Airship “Pathfinder 1”, a proof-of-concept vehicle designed and manufactured by LTA Research, flies untethered at Moffett Field in Mountain View, California.
The conference covers technical aspects as well as applications and environmental aspects.
Conference Topics:
- Construction and design of airships
- Construction of low and high altitude drones
- Sustainable aviation by airships
- Power electronics and batteries for airships
- Solar energy for airships
- Application of airships
- Usage of hydrogen as energy source and lifting gas
- Certification, regulation and integration in existing aerospace
- Infrastructure, ground handling of airships
