(The Aeroship is a combination of current aerodyne and aerostat technology that have been merged) p. 1 (The [Aeroship] design incorporates lift from an aerostat component coupled with the lift of an aerodyne component to produce the required lift for flight) Internet search, Jan. 14, 2009 ("Electric airplanes" = 225,000 results. Some refer to radio-controlled model aircraft; some refer to full-size aircraft ("Hybrid airplanes" = 50 results)) Wired.com article, April 2008 "Electric airplanes take flight" ("Electric aircraft trace their history to 1884 and the La France, a dirigible powered by chromium-chloride batteries and 7.5 horsepower motor ... 96 years later the solar-electric Gossamer Penguin made its first flight on Aug. 7, 1980) Wikipedia, Jan. 14, 2009 (Electric aircraft is an aircraft that runs on electric motors rather than internal combustion engines, with electricity coming from fuel cells, ultracapacitors, power beaming, and/or batteries) Hybrid vehicles website, Jan. 14, 2009 ("When those in the 'hybrid aircraft' industry use this term, they are referring to a form of hybrid that combines the aerodynamic lift of the body hull shape combined with the lighter-than-air properties of the buoyancy derived from a helium-filled outer shell") |
