Airships and Aerostats

For the past 25 years, Aeros has created cutting-edge technology in the aviation sector. Aeros has excelled in designing and manufacturing Airships and Aerostat products, as well as related research and development as well as rapid prototyping. Aeros has an outstanding track record for producing high quality products, operating under FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) Production Certificates. Aeros has set new industry standards in the areas of technology, quality and safety with its Lighter-Than-Air (LTA) Products, and continues to create products that exceed customers’ needs.

The air vehicles that Worldwide Aeros Corp. produces feature advanced aeronautical flight and controls technologies. The company’s current product lines include non-rigid airships, and advanced unmanned tethered aerostatic systems – used globally for government, commercial and humanitarian applications.

Aeros has now completed the world’s most innovative air cargo transporter – the Aeroscraft-- which is capable of lifting massive freight, using an innovative internal ballast control system and advanced vertical takeoff and landing features. A fully operational prototype of the Aeroscraft has been finished and tested in the vast and historic Airship Hangar in Tustin, California. The advanced Aeroscraft rigid-hulled air vehicle is an aviation engineering feat that is capable of moving massive cargos safely and rapidly across every kind of urban, rural, remote and even ecologically sensitive environments and terrain. The Aeroscraft is being hailed by international media and leaders of government and industry as the breakthrough transportation solution for the new century.

The Aeroscraft is the only Rigid Variable Buoyancy Air Vehicle of its kind, designed to control lift in all stages of air or ground operations, including the ability to offload payload without re-ballasting to areas without the need for ground infrastructure (runways or airports). The key features of the Aeroscraft include a rigid structure, vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, and the ability to operate at low speed, in hover, from unprepared surfaces.

With the company’s commitment to its internal research, development and prototyping programs, the Aeroscraft has attracted support and development funding from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the U.S. Air Force, and the prestigious Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). It is intended to carry a payload of more than 500 tons 12,000 nautical miles, with one third of conventional jet fuel consumption at a competitive cost.

Aeros is a company that has its eye on the future of technology, leading to the innovative Aeros 10MW Wind Energy Systems branch. Aeros is committed to developing more functional turbine components that are better able to operate during unpredictable turbulent conditions, as well as efficiently generate power in low wind areas. Building these improved capabilities into our components will provide an increased performance of output power energy that will help reduce our global dependence on fossil fuels. The production of these very large components is now feasible, because the Aeroscraft will provide the necessary logistics for this industry.
