Aeroscraft also sees its vehicles as capable of providing large-scale deliveries to remote locations. Here, an artist's rendering shows the Aeroscraft delivering wind turbines.
Aeroscraft's unique Rigid Variable Buoyancy Air Vehicle system has an Internal Ballast Control designed to allow it to offload cargo without using ballast. With a rigid structure, the Aeroscraft can control lift at all stages with its Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) capabilities and carry its maximum payload while hovering -- and it needs no hangar facility or specialized ports, making it friendly to all kinds of transportation services.
