Abstract: A system, method and apparatus are proposed to assist in assembling the frame, attaching the skin, and performing other tasks in manufacturing an airship and constructing other structures that are otherwise challenging, inefficient, or unsuitable for humans to perform, and/or that traditionally require significant investments in capital intensive manufacturing facilities. Several embodiments are proposed in which these and other recurring manufacturing tasks can be performed safely and efficiently with the assistance of autonomous, semi-autonomous, and/or human-directed robots, acting independently and in robot swarms.

Abstract: A low-density structured material with good mechanical stability that can be used for three-dimensional structures, and methods to make and use same. In embodiments, the low-density structured material includes a first surface of interconnected polyhedrons, a plurality of tetrahedral arrangements whose base is the polyhedrons of the first surface, a second surface that is a web attached to the tetrahedral vertices of the tetrahedral arrangements, and panel materials overlying the web. The low-density structured material can be utilized in a variety of different structures.

Abstract: A lighter-than-air airship has an exoskeleton constructed of spokes and hubs to create a set of connected hexagrams comprised of isosceles triangles wherein the spokes flex and vary in length to produce the slope of said airship's surface. In one embodiment, the exoskeleton connects to a nose cone that includes a cockpit cabin for controlling the airship's operation from a single location that can be physically separated from the exoskeleton in response to catastrophic events and for autonomous and/or remotely piloted operation. An improved means is also provided for landing and unloading cargo, and through use of unmanned aerial vehicles in another embodiment, the airship is configured for remote pickup, transport, delivery and return of payloads such as packages. In yet another embodiment, the airship provides a communications platform for beam form transmission and satellite signal relay, including in combination with the foregoing disclosed attributes.

Abstract: A method for erecting the structure of an aerostat in successive horizontal sections, starting from the top horizontal section, comprising an iteration of the following steps, starting from a current state of completion of the aerostat structure, lifting the current state of the structure, at first lifting points, by means of lifting means arranged in a current transverse position; placing a support device in line with second lifting points for lifting the current state of the structure; transferring the current state of the structure from the lifting means to the support device; moving the lifting means to another transverse position; completely assembling the horizontal section immediately below the current state of the structure on the structure.

Abstract: The proposed design is of a generally spherical, semi-spherical, cone-shaped, or bell-shaped mini-autonomous airship that has an internal guidance and control system connected to ground operations. The structure of the airship is approximately 2.25 ft in diameter and 2.625 ft in height with a double layered ballonet structure and a gondola on the bottom housing the propulsion, guidance, control, sensor, and communication systems. This unique mini-airship serves to provide persistent low-altitude low-cost surveillance. The airship has a propulsion and control system that permits it to rise over a desired loitering location, and to be maintained in that location for a period of time. In one embodiment the airship may achieve neutral buoyancy when the internal envelope is about 60% full of lifting gas, and may have a service ceiling of about 100 meters. The airship has an equipment module that can include either communications equipment, or monitoring equipment, or both. The airship can be remotely controlled from a ground operator. The airship has electric motors for propulsion and control systems that are driven by power obtained from these motors and systems.

Abstract: A multilayer sealed skin, in particular for an inflatable structure and that includes a first polymer film, a reinforcing fabric disposed on the first polymer film and a second polymer film disposed on the reinforcing fabric and adhered by means of an adhesive to the first polymer film through cavities in the reinforcing fabric. The skin can be applied to the production of an inflatable structural element such as an inflatable beam for which the skin forms an outer wall of the structural element and for which the first film of the skin forms an inner face of the outer wall of the structural element, and the second film forms an outer face of the wall.
