Aeronave
More actions
Aeronave, or airship, is a type of flying vehicle that can achieve lift by using helium, a gas lighter than air. It consists of two major sections, a helium-filled balloon used to propel the airship upwards, and a ship-like hull which houses the captain and passengers, used to land in water. Although the hull uses relatively light materials and structures in its construction, the size of the balloon is greatly larger than the hull in order to compensate for its weight. In addition, the balloon has no internal frame to hold its shape, and relies exclusively on the internal pressure of the gases, in order to lighten the vessel. Patented and designed in La Rossa, the first aeronave is expected to be deployed by the end of 62 PC.
