Drone Based Tugboats For Airship Takeoff And Landing


Doctor Derp

Recommended Posts

Airships are known to have trouble taking off and landing in conditions with high winds.

Could it be feasible to use a system of VTOL drones, that are scaled up versions of the RC models. To function as tugboats to guide airships along their approved takeoff and landing routes.

Also in this era where transportation by truck and trains are becoming increasingly inefficient due to rising fossil fuel costs. Could it become feasible to deploy a fleet of airships to transport multiple tons of commodities and goods over long distances. Due to them offering better shipping MPG (miles per gallon) numbers in contrast to current day options which require more fuel.
