Aluminised polymer envelope?

Pressurised?

Flight ceiling?


Feel free to tell me to shut up if any of those are commercial in confidence... :) 
 yep hydrogen, i use PU for the hulls currently (moving to ripstop nylon with a PU coating). 

i’m working on a 20-metre that will operate at 10km hopefully 
 and a logitech controller for the flight controls? 
 pixhawk with a flysky transmitter/receiver. will be moving to it being fully autonomous soon tho 
 also, fuck yes.  
 SICK! Been wanting to try this out too here; love me some airships! Godspeed man, hope you get this right!  
 also, are you selling these commercially?  
 not yet! hoping either for a defence grant or to sell to a defence company 
 I'd honestly buy one, or get it financed possibly. I have a business idea but there are very few manufacturers, so I was looking into it but I ain't an engineer 
 feel free to dm. i’m australia based tho 
 Just gonna have to fly in over lol
