by experienced Russian aircraft designer Orfey Kozlov , the firm's cargo airship will be capable of carrying out loading and unloading operations on the field regardless of ground infrastructure. This means no need for ports, roadways, airports, or runways. It will even be able to hover over terrain and retrieve cargo using a pulley system.
The airship's design also includes two gas chambers to provide lift. For the 600 ton model, 620,000 cubic meters of helium will be utilized for practically"zero" buoyancy. A large cavity filled with air heated to 200 degrees Celsius by the exhaust of eight helicopter engines is responsible for lifting the payload.Aerosmena plans to make different models with different capacities ranging from 20 to 600 tons and a range of up to 8,000 km reaching speeds of up to 250 km/h .
