Rigid Airships TRIZ Cases
- Atmospheric Balloon Navigation Using Altitude and Propulsion Control
Onboard altitude and propulsion selection helps atmospheric balloons reach favorable air streams, improve arrival time, and cut remote control bandwidth.
- Self-Ballasting Airframe for Precise Airship Buoyancy Control
Pressurized ballast chambers let the controller vary onboard air mass for precise lift control despite atmospheric pressure changes.
- Hybrid Ellipsoid Airship Structure for Stable VTOL Flight
Helium buoyancy and a symmetric multirotor envelope improve VTOL stability, cut vibration, and enable safer landings in unmanned flight.
- Geometry-Optimized Ceramic Kelvin Foam for Hydrostatic Loading
Optimized Kelvin foam beam geometry resists buckling and base-material failure under hydrostatic loading while preserving low density.
- Solar-Hydrogen Airship Propulsion for Long-Duration Autonomous Flight
Solar PV, electrolysis, hydrogen storage, and fuel cells dynamically manage energy for long-duration unmanned airship missions.
- Airship Geodesic Frames with Solar-Heated Lift and Venting
This case shows how geodesic airship frames use solar-heated air and vents to regulate lift without relying on helium or hydrogen.
- Levitation Aircraft With Docking for Quiet Indoor Monitoring
A levitating aircraft separates lifting from propulsion and docks for charging, reducing vibration, noise, and battery use indoors.
- Vacuum Lift Airship Eliminates Combustible Gas Risks
Dynamic vacuum chambers replace combustible helium with atmospheric pressure differential, enabling safe ultra-large cargo transport.
- Air Cushioned Landing System Cover Rollers for Drag Reduction
Separable cover rollers expose inflatable landing pads via roller straps, replacing unreliable zipper mechanisms to reduce aerodynamic drag during flight.
- Lighter-than-air craft with circumferential band motor tracks
Circumferential bands guide motors to undulate fins for aerodynamic thrust on lighter-than-air crafts.
- Airship Hull Design with Rigid Aeroshell Frame
Segmented hull structure uses rigid aeroshell frame to handle pressure loads, reducing weight while maintaining structural integrity.
- Configurable Buoyancy Airship Geometry and Vacuum Systems
A semi-rigid airship adjusts its geometry for speed or buoyancy using partial vacuum and cryogenic condensation.
- Rotatable Cockpit Airship Design for Maneuverability
Independent cockpit rotation and asymmetric gasbag shaping reduce crosswind deviation.
- Air Vehicle Buoyancy Lifting System with Segmented Balloons
Segmented balloons and gas reservoirs manage vertical lift through controlled buoyancy gas flow, eliminating complex propeller maintenance.
- Hybrid Stratospheric Airship Aerostatic-Aerodynamic Integration
Segmented inflatable chambers merge buoyant and lifting forces, reducing platform size while enabling tactical payload deployment.
- Airship Flat Bottom Envelope and Anchoring Device
Flat-bottom airship envelopes convert irregular vertical lurching into stable downward forces for autonomous landing.
