The traditional airship relied on highly flammable hydrogen to create lift under the LTA principle, whereas the new generation of hybrid ships rely more on being heavier than air machines. But they dont stop at the airship.ĪA is licensed to fly both hybrid and conventional airships, as well as the provision of maintenance support to other types of Lighter-Than-Air (LTA) vehicle, such as aerostats. Licensed to provide consulting services in aviation, management and logistics, on its website, Airships Arabia claims it will initially support companies and government entities in dealing with airship matters while preparing to upgrade its license, once ready, to allow airship operations, maintenance and support.Īs a re-emerging tech, interest in the airship is seeing a steep rise and there are more than 10 companies working on competing designs today. Today, around the world, dozens of companies are experimenting with how to reinvent the airship and in January 2016 Airships Arabia DWC LLC was registered in Dubai South. What has changed is attitudes towards the ships and their potential as the sixth mode of transport in a world that is constantly looking for solutions that can incorporate sustainability and lower costs while still meeting demanding schedules. Around the world a new generation of airships is being rolled out with a view to transforming how cargo is transported, but with only 40 blimps currently in operation, how long will it be before the airship takes off again?īlimp, zeppelin, dirigible, airship in 150 years of aviation history the humble airship has changed very little.
