Rosatom will be a huge unmanned airship

Rosatom made an order for unmanned airship-lens diameter 50 metres. According to General Director of FSUE "Dolgoprudny automatics KB" Viktor Golubyatnikov, to begin construction of the airship, the shape of which resembles a flying saucer, is planned for next year. As explained by the designers, this form of airship was not chosen for the similarities with UFOs, and in order to improve handling and reduce wind influence.

The diameter of the unmanned airship for Rosatom will be 50 meters, its ceiling – 5 thousand meters, and the range is 800 kilometers. The device will have 4 turboprop engines, the approximate capacity is for 400 HP As reported by snipers, the airship will be equipped with devices by which the operator from a distance of a hundred miles will be able to lead the flight of the airship.

As told by designer, development work associated with the creation of an unmanned airship for Rosatom, involved the construction of a prototype, which will take approximately 2 years. The enterprise has already created the layout of the lenticular airship DP-27 ("Annie") and today it is working out of constructive and technological solutions, new systems. In the fall of 2011 airship "Annie" successfully took to the air (but on a leash). The manufacturer of the airship on your website put a video report about the event.

DP-27 is working out the system of management of such unmanned airship. Testing modified control system for unmanned lenticular airship DP-27 is planned for early fall of this year, these trials will be held throughout the month. As reported by snipers, all that will be tested on "Annie", "go" on the "big" airship-lens for Rosatom.

This airship-lens will be able to observe, to patrol a vast territory, control of land and airspace, sea surface, perform ice reconnaissance, escort convoys, carry out hydrographic, cartographic research and perform radar reconnaissance and relay the telecommunication signal.
