A METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING A PAYLOAD TO A TARGET LOCATION, AND RELATED HYBRID AIRSHIP

摘要

The method for transporting a payload (30) to a target location (11), comprises the following steps: - providing a hybrid airship (10) comprises a buoyancy enclosure, a gondola carried by the buoyancy enclosure and a payload carrying apparatus (41 ), and at least one propeller (36); - flying the hybrid airship (10) carrying the payload (30) to a target location, flying the hybrid airship (10) carrying the payload (30) comprising generating a lift force with the at least one propeller (36). Flying the hybrid airship (10) carrying the payload (30) comprises tilting the longitudinal axis (?-?') of the buoyancy enclosure to a positive pitch to generate an aerodynamic lift force when the hybrid airship (10) carrying the payload (30) moves longitudinally.
