Airships are a very real alternative to traditional modes of transportation, especially in cargo shipping and tourism.

Why are airships back in trend?

• Environmental concerns in society are on the rise. Airships consume less fuel than airplanes and produce fewer harmful emissions.
• The safety of airships has been improved by new materials and technologies: hybrid propulsion systems, lightweight yet durable fabrics, etc.
• Airships offer a unique travel experience. And the new generation of tourists has a new trend: impressions beyond expectations. Read more about this in our article.

Key market players

• Lockheed Martin. Known for its hybrid airships designed for cargo transportation to hard-to-access areas.
• Hybrid Air Vehicles. A British company developing the Airlander 10, intended for both passenger and cargo operations.
• Thales Alenia Space. A European consortium working on stratospheric airships for scientific research and telecommunications.
• AERONOVA, of course. It is already conducting flight tests of Russia’s first unmanned airship.

Prospects

As we can see, the revival of airships is not a short-term trend but a promising direction for the development of transportation and tourism. With advancing technologies and stricter environmental regulations, airships are inevitably becoming part of the future transportation infrastructure.
