About a century ago giants in the air captured the skies to accomplish an imparishable spadework for aviation.To relieve the fascination for aeronautics from its golden past , a group of young students has assigned itself with building a model rigid airship, able to fly.Thereby the model adapts the original aircrafts' design and flight qualities:A very light balsa wood framework delivers the basic construction for the lightweight electronics and engines as well as the paper skin covering the outside.Only consistent use of light weight construction enables the airship to float. The gas-sack , is made of synthetics coated by a thin layer of metal, holding the not flammable gas HeliumThe airship is balanced and set up for its first flight in a gym.Because many modifications are tested in this phase of development, the lower cover is removed for easy access to the interior and electronics. Therefore you can have a look at the shiny golden gas-sack.To controll the aircraft during flight this model has, unlike the original concepts, a vectorial pivoting propulsion. That makes it possible for the aircraft to steer in narrow ranges like shown in this underground garage, being much more efficient in using limited space.Music: Lords of the Sky by Celestial Aeon Project
