  1. Concept • Not Lighter-Than-Air (NOT A BLIMP) • Aerodynamics provides about half of total lift • Takeoff and land like an aircraft: wheels on a runway • Hull is integrated with wing for dynamic lift generating • Patented structure allows aircraft and airship integration • Huge Cargo Bay/ Large Useful Gross Weight Capability • Patented Structure Allows Concentrated Loading of Cargo • Short Takeoff and Landing Capability • All Weather Ruggedness • Long Range/ Persistent Loitering • 5 X the speed of a surface ship

  2. DYNALIFTERS ARE: PART AIRSHIP (Total Static Lift) PART AIRPLANE (Total Dynamic Lift) Just Enough Airship for Good Fuel Economy, Endurance, Large Cargo Bays and Emergency Forgiveness (50%) Just Enough Airplane for All Weather Ground Handling. Insuring Ruggedness, and Lower Cost of Operation (50%) Semi-Buoyant Aircraft

  3. Prohibitively Expensive Weight Barring Skin Construction Difficult Ground Handling In Slightest Wind Dynalifter’s do not share the technology that make conventional airships impractical Human Brakes = Prohibitively Expensive Payroll Cumbersome Weight Transfer system Limiting Catenary Curtain Technology and Ballast Control Systems

  4. Dynalifter’s share key airship properties Energy Efficiency • Limited Energy (fuel) is spent on lift • Low Pollution emissions • Long Loitering capability • Good Endurance capability Accident Forgiveness Slow Descents Helium lifts always High vertical drag

  5. Airshipcraft’s Share Key Aircraft Properties Safe Ground Handling Low Cost Operation Ruggedness All Weather Operation Ordinary RO-RO Cargo Handling

  6. All Weather Operations 200,000 lbs of down pressure secures a (PSC-3) an empty Airshipcraft Freighter to ground in a 30kts wind. Ground Operation Rules would secure the aircraft, or point Airshipcraft into the wind above the designed wind loading

  7. AN INTERESTING COMPARISON... Phase 1 Baseline Concept Same engines as the C-130 >3 times Gross Weight of 2 C-130's ~4 times Gross payload of 2 C-130's >12 times payload volume ~same operating cost!

  8. Airshipcraft Engineering Development CFD Analysis Patent Conceptional Design Finite Element Analysis Wind Tunnel Testing Simulators Fabrication of Prototype Completed Aircraft Aircraft Flight Testing

  9. Baseline Aircraft Runway Testing

  10. Markets • Airshipcraft Patrollers • Private Aircraft Development • Tourist Rides • Beach Patroller • Shark Patroller • Pollution Enforcement • Privatized Homeland Security • Deep Sea Patroller/ Communication • Deep Sea ICEBERG Patrol • Deep Tundra Transports • Pirate Control • Poacher Control • Immigration Patrollers • Traffic Control • Law Enforcements • TV NEWS Helicopter Replacement

  11. Privatized Homeland Security • A city Patroller • A local corporation purchases an advertising sponsorship • Law enforcement rides free while the company turns a profit

  12. Markets • Airshipcraft Freighter • Commercial Freight Systems • Military US Strategic Lift • Forest Fire Suppression • Homeland Security • Federal Emergency Support • Global Intra-Continent Emergency support • Major Advertisement • Natural Resource Recovery Transport • Fish Industry Transport

  13. PSC-1 PSC-3 PSC-4 PSC-2 Dynalifter Technology is Scalable

  14. Major Industrial Markets Commercial Freight Military Strategic Airlift Project Forest Fires Luxury Transportation
