AN AIRBORNE REVOLUTION - THE ATLAS ATLANT AIRSHIP

AN ENGINEERING MASTERPIECE CREATES AN AIRBORNE REVOLUTION

ATLANT – A HYBRID AIRSHIP AIMS TO REDIFE FREIGHT AND PASSENGER TRANSPORT

In the future, it will be possible to transport oversized and heavy goods door-to-door directly from the supplier to any remote destination using an innovative air vehicle. Thanks to a technological masterpiece, there is something much better on the horizon: A hybrid airship that will transport not only heavy goods but also people from A to B faster and in a much more uncomplicated manner.

TECHNOLOGY

The awe-inspiring sight in the sky is the ATLANT hybrid airship, an innovative technology that is set to usher in a new era of air transport. Its ability to land vertically on almost any unprepared surface, without the need for special infrastructure completely removes the limitations of developing rural areas and enables the development of new economic markets. The airship is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions both in flight and on the ground and can be used as a powerful means of transport for all seasons and all continents. ATLANT can also provide a safe, cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for transporting heavy and oversized loads.

IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO JOIN AS AN INVESTOR

Even though there are already pictures of the prototype circulating, including a very impressive animation video, the construction of this unique transport vehicle is still in its early stages, and it is still possible to become an investor.

In times of global warming, more and more modes of transport are currently coming under increasing political and economic pressure. With rising tolls, CO2 taxes and levies, rising fuel prices and production costs in the transport sector, politicians are trying to exert more and more influence on industry to achieve established climate targets with new environmental technologies. Finding a healthy balance between environmental factors and faster and cheaper transport routes is a difficult undertaking that requires new technical innovations.

Imagine if it were no longer necessary to require transit infrastructure such as roads, railways, ports or airports to move goods or passengers from one place to another. What if it were possible to pick up freight directly at the producing company and drop it off thousands of kilometres away in impassable terrain, with precision - to the centimetre? This, instead of being confronted with obstructive aspects such as loading freight onto different vehicle types, (for example, from ship to rail and truck,) without the need of considering associated tolls, speed limits, night driving bans, port charges and other time-consuming and costly requirements. Freight forwarders, construction companies and manufacturers of heavy, bulky machinery or parts that can otherwise only be moved via cost-intensive special transport would benefit from increased efficiency through flexible and direct transport routes.

A Pipedream? Not if the engineers of the Israeli airship builder ATLAS LTA ADVANCED TECHNOLO- GY LTD have their way. The company has been tinkering for several years with an autonomous airship that can move a remarkable (up to) 165 tonnes through the air with the power of helium and hybrid technology (and very low CO2 emissions, with an operating range of 2000 kilometres and more,) - The ATLANT series hybrid airship.

AUTONOMOUS AIRBORNE ARTIFICIALLY INTELLIGENT CONTROLLED SUPPLY CHAINS

The large cargo hold already gives the ATLANT many advantages over existing aircraft and most ground transport regarding transport and haulage of oversized or low-density cargo. The VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing,) capability to hover vertically on the spot enables the use of the airship with a special crane mode for high-rise installations, the construction of wind turbines, or for power grid extensions in impassable terrain. The crane mode uses a special rotating lifting platform on the underside of the airship to precisely position the payload and compensate for any turbulence or crosswind. A high level of automation in flight control is a key factor in unmanned cargo operations, enabling not only unlimited duty cycles but also artificial intelligence-driven supply chains (for example in the automotive industry) with multiple coordinated airships. It removes flight duration constraints, lowers operational costs and ultimately transforms the number of aircraft into a fully optimised, AI-driven, cost-efficient autonomous cargo distribution network.

INNOVATIVE MISSION TYPES DEFINE UNIQUE NICHES

A piloted version of the hybrid airship can also be used for passenger, emergency and special transport as needed. Both unmanned and manned versions configured for either cargo or passengers can be used for different purposes. New deployment models will open up unique niches, such as cruises that are no longer bound to the coasts but also cross the mainland. The ATLANT can also be integrated competitively into existing transport networks. The piloted version is ideal as a comfortable passenger ferry for short and medium distances, connecting landlocked locations without an airfield or ground transport infrastructure. This flying ferry can also use open waters, ports or harbours to connect a large number of beautiful islands or coastlines - enabling a unique dimension of future travel. Spacious flats and lounges, full-service restaurants and bars, floor-to-ceiling windows, open decks - no existing aircraft can offer these features. The ability of this flying yacht to land virtually anywhere opens up a new, exclusive way to explore the world.

LIMITLESS SPECIAL MISSIONS WITHOUT THE NEED FOR INFRA- STRUCTURE

When the ground transport infrastructure is damaged by a natural disaster or other reasons, the ATLANT‘s much larger cargo ability than any helicopter makes it the only solution for transporting vital products or evacuating people in need. The airship can also be used as a flying hospital or mobile power station. In addition, the ATLANT can help fight forest fires or other fires that spread over a large area. Because of its potential low speed, the airship can drop water more slowly and accurately than conventional aircraft without damaging the trees below. The ability to land vertically on water and quickly refill large tanks also makes firefighting very effective. This hybrid airship is the only transport vehicle that can provide this level of aerial mobility. It is in a class of its own. The intercontinental range, the fact that there are no special landing site requirements at the destination and the comparatively modest operating costs also make the ATLANT an excellent replacement for existing multimodal supply chains for special operations.
