Aeros ML Aeroscraft

The combinational symmetrical ellipsoidal shape was chosen as a suitable compromise between the structural and aerodynamic shape of the conventional airship and the lifting body shape. The concept endeavors to reduce length and height to facilitate manufacture and ground handling space as well better matching the typical (helicopter) landing pad and minimize maintenance requirements. It is the first aircraft in the transport category (20 or more passenger seats) with an application for certification from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).

The Ecological Aircraft

Aeros ML is to the first manned aircraft of its kind to be propelled by electric motors. This prop-motor combination allows for operations in ultra-low noise emission. This capability, together with the aircraft's inherent ability to stay airborne almost independent of power settings - not available in any other classes of aircraft - will enable the Aeros ML to operate in the most ecologically sensitive areas.

The Autonomous Aircraft

Aeros ML is the first aircraft of its kind designed for a truly autonomous ground operation -takeoff and landing with no support from a ground crew. The key element to reduce ground handling labor - on of the biggest hurdles towards lower operational cost of airships, is the Air Cushion Take off/Landing System (ACTLS)* utilizing surface effect technology. Located on the Aeroscraft's belly and replacing conventional landing gear, the ACTLS adheres to the ground by creating a vacuum for positive anchorage upon landing, and reverses to launch the aircraft into the sky to alleviate the effect of static heaviness upon taking off.

The Digital Aircraft

The advanced Fly-by-Wire (FBW) flight control system used in its predecessor, the Aeros 40B airship, will be further improved. The Aeros ML will incorporate the Fly-by-Light (FBL) control system featuring fiber optic digital data bus and flight control processors. This system is chose for its larger bandwidth, lighter weight, and the immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) including lightening strikes.

All control commands and feed back are carried between the flight control processor and various flight control devices through the fiber optic cables. These digital data bus, together with the flight control processor and flight control devices, form the highly integrated Onboard Data Exchange Managing System (ODEMS). The presence of ODEMS enables the extensive automation of light operations, leaving the 2-flight crew with the mere task of monitoring the flight conditions to ensure safety.
