Enabling flexible logistics

Freedom to operate without expensive airport infrastructure enables a broad range of logistics applications. Airlander operates on unprepared surfaces giving access to inaccessible locations and enabling enhanced logistics offerings.

Airlander operates without port, road or runway, with the ability to take off and land on virtually any flat surface.

A solution for specialist logistics Airlander 10 can deliver a 10-tonne payload. This is a similar payload to a Chinook CH-47 helicopter, often used in delivering specialist logistics services. The payload module can be adapted and easily configured accomodating unusual loads.

Disaster relief logistics Remote communities, stranded assets, and disaster-damaged places need rapid connection to the global supply chain. Airlander can connect communities, deliver fresh supplies, and relieve distress in the most remote and unconnected parts of the world.

Unconstrained growth Gridlocked cities, choked ports, and congested airports are applying the brakes on growth in many sectors. Airlander bypasses choke points, providing new options for getting freight or passengers from A to B.

A new option for logistics

Airlander delivers direct to the point of need, faster than surface transport, enabling time-sensitive deliveries without incurring the cost, environmental impact or trans-shipments of today’s air freight options. With a powerful combination of payload and endurance, Airlander offers an entirely new option for remote logistics.

We're rethinking the skies.

The continued exploration of the hybrid airship concept is essential to support future operations in austere and infrastructure-challenged locales where USTRANSCOM will likely be required to support military or humanitarian relief operations.
