You are leaving on the table lots of fun due to it being unmanned. How do you resist the temptation of installing a one person gondola and hop in there?
On the economics and moat: You said that it's cheaper than helicopters but would it be cheaper than manned auto-gyros/gyrocopters? What about military drones and even civilian drones which will benefit from the trillions of dollars being dumped into battery technology, that will make them capable of flying longer distances? Would blimps be competitive against those?
Finally. I want to ask about forest fires, would your blimp have the economics to be used as surveillance tool against forest fires?
- ThomasLaporte 3y agoAhaha a lot of people would love to hop in there (one day maybe ;) ) We've studied a lot batteries and drones and we don't think that drones will reach the specs we can get through a lighter than air aircraft. Even for civilian helicopters, today, they have between 2h and 3h of flight time usually. Military equipment won't be used for that kind of topic.
