Airships & Blimps - ILC Dover

Advertising Airships

ILC was responsible for the detailed design and materials development for a new generation of advertising airships for the American Blimp Corporation. ILC developed and qualified a translucent Tedlar/Mylar envelope material for use in these internally illuminated airships, which operate world-wide.

Passenger Airships

ILC was responsible for the detailed design, materials development, and fabrication of the new LZNO7 airship envelope for Zeppelin. This semi-rigid, 220 ft. long envelope design necessitated that tight tolerance requirements be maintained during production to assure the envelope interfaced properly to the rigid superstructure. The airship received its certification in 2001. Three airships currently are operating in Japan, the United States, and Germany.
