Abstract: A landing apparatus for an airship or hybrid air vehicle. The landing apparatus comprises a hollow, non-toroidal, flexible enclosure (103), having a substantially vertical axis (104), and a substantially circular cross-section centred on the axis. A base (122) of the enclosure is arranged to contact the ground. The enclosure (103) is inflatable with air or gas for landing, and deflatable for retraction of the enclosure during flight.

Abstract: A non-rigid airship or hybrid air vehicle has a pressure-stabilised envelope (100) that includes at least one ballonet (102, 103). A system is provided for measuring the geometry of the lifting gas enclosure (101) within the pressure-stabilised envelope (100). The system comprises a plurality of sensors (104, 109) located outside the ballonet(s) but inside the envelope, for measuring the geometry of the enclosure. Some of the sensors (104) are arranged to measure an internal surface of the pressure-stabilised envelope (100), and others of the sensors (109) are arranged to measure an external surface of the at least one ballonet (102, 103).

Abstract: An air cushioned landing system for an air vehicle comprises an inflatable and deflatable skirt (113) in the form of a tube having inner (101) and outer (100) walls. The inner wall defines a central plenum (116) within the skirt, the skirt including gas pockets (130) arranged to stiffen one or more regions of at least one of the inner (101) and outer (100) sidewalls during deflation of the skirt. A gas pocket fan inflates the gas pockets prior to and during deflation of the skirt, wherein the gas pockets are constrained to move from a mutually spaced apart position when the skirt is inflated, to a mutually closely adjacent position when the skirt is fully deflated.
Abstract translation: 用于空中交通工具的气垫着陆系统包括具有内（101）和外（100）壁的管形式的可膨胀和可放气的裙部（113）。 所述内壁在所述裙部内限定中央增压室（116），所述裙部包括气囊（130），所述气囊布置成在所述裙部（13）的放气期间加强所述内（101）和外（100）侧壁中的至少一个的一个或多个区域 。 气囊袋风扇在裙部充气之前和期间使气袋膨胀，其中当裙部充气时，气囊被限制为从裙部膨胀时相互间隔开的位置移动到相邻的相邻位置。

Abstract: An air vehicle has a gas-filled hull of a flexible sheet material. Strakes extend along an exterior of the hull, each strake comprising a gas-filled tube of a sheet of a flexible sheet material. A rigid board extends outwardly from the gas-filled tube and away from the vehicle. A further sheet of a flexible sheet material extends from one side of the strake over the board to another side of the strake, to provide a strake that is generally triangular in cross section.
