Update: The Silent Runner Crowdfunding Campaign was successful and now you can buy a kit or ready-to-fly one on www.startnext.... (ENG) or www.startnext.... (GER)
-----
Training day of the RC airships sports group at the Heinrich Heine University of Duesseldorf. Only one airship this time, but with a new, embedded design. The "Windreiter" team uses selected materials and 3d printed parts for their airships.
Everbody who is interested is invited to watch, fly and ask questions!
Location: goo.gl/maps/D6IbK
Parking: goo.gl/maps/sbtMG
Ask the "Windreiter" team for more detailed information! windreiter.de/ (GER only)
Their silent runner project is completely open source! If you would like to build your own airship then have a look at the silent runner's wiki page: silent-runner.net/ (ENG)
They have a little shop, where you can buy parts to build your own blimp: shop.silent-run... (dead, see startnext page)

The maneuvers are super cool to watch!

Given that an airship has a lot in common with a submarine, I never under stood why airship designers abandoned forward (canard ) control surfaces so early on in development. The R101's men could surely have been saved by such a feature, and at the low airspeeds of dirigibles the overcontrol problems would not apply?

First-class video, thank you very much for posting!

I now have the improved version of a "Windreiter" envelope with almost 600 liters of gas volume. My own concept only uses 2 hinged rudders - the third fin is rigid. But for this I use two motors with swivel gondolas and thrust differentiation. Should work, but I still have no idea how fast the airship will be.

thank you so much for the video and links on where to purchase the "Silent Windrunner" kit. I have contacted both links and I am waiting for response now. As an new young Aerospace student that wants to get into airship design I can not wait to tackle this project to help get me started.

What stops it from simply rising up to the ceiling and sticking there? I see there are rudders and throttle for forwards and left and right. I can't see how you control up and down. Great Zep.

+72secondprize 1. weights. 2. There are three rudders: the upper one is for left/right, the lower ones for up/down and also for left/right.

+Inter Action Please,could you possibly clarify your point about weight ? I saw some RC blimps move weight to pitch up or down. Does yours work the same way ?

@Inter-Action 8 жыл бұрын

+Adib Harhouri No, the weight is fixed and just needed to prevent the airship from uncontrolled rising. The airship should be slightly heavier than air, so if something goes wrong with the RC you can easily pick it up. Otherwise it would go up and say good-bye forever.

@Inter-Action 9 жыл бұрын

It is called Octax, but I recommend to buy a ready hull here: shop.silent-runner.net/silent-runner/silent-runner-octax-hulle.html Manufacturer of octax and heptax is: www.aeroix.de/

ok i want to make my own hulls, that is why i need a roll.

@Inter-Action 9 жыл бұрын

Okay, but be aware that it's a high-tech product and not cheap. Do you have a special design in mind?

the aeroix website doesnt work. ? no i am just looking to get back into blimp building, i made one before out of rescueblankets. i probably only need a few meters, a whole roll could be too expensive..

@drumking241 8 жыл бұрын

wrong- mars does have an atmosphere.

@jameselger572 8 жыл бұрын

But, the atmosphere is thinner. Not enough, would have been more correct. But, I don't believe a rigid balloon could be constructed because, the atmosphere is too thin. Using helium and an ultralight helium design could work for low energy powered flight. But, I have other ideas. Atop of mount everest, is allot harder.

@drumking241 8 жыл бұрын

yep, i almost mentioned it being thinner but didnt, the only thing it needs to be is lighter than the atmosphere around it, i know nasa engineers but build something lighter say made out of mylar, but im not very knowledgeable on gases but i would think there something they could use thats lighter that a complete atmosphere, ive heard of large winged high lift drones being talked about before, something like that might be more practical
