  • Patent number: 5240206
    Abstract: An acrobatic airship capable of making a perfect somersault, and a 360 degree roll in a limited small air space, without utilizing high-powered thrusters or sophisticated automatic control mechanisms. The airship has a rather thick and round axi-symmetrically shaped hull equipped with a pair of reversible thrusters on each side of the hull's nose area. Each thruster is also equipped with a tilting mechanism, which enables the thrust vector orientation to be changed independently. The airship has a set of tail fins as attitude stabilizers which do not have movable control surfaces. This acrobatic airship can be designed as a manned or unmanned craft, and is ideal for use in advertising and also as a camera platform, an observation vehicle for hazardous environments, and in various other industrial applications.
