By utilizing the lift generated by a helium-filled LTA vehicle in tandem with the aerodynamic lift of a hybrid structure, heavy loads can be transported in an economical manner with vehicles requiring little existing infrastructure.
Heavy Lift
ILC Dover has applied its Lighter-Than-Air technology to the development and fabrication of heavy lift vehicles for three decades.
We have developed durable envelope structure laminates capable of providing high tear-strength while keeping structural mass to a minimum.
