An airship is a type of
aerostat or lighter-than-air aircraft that can navigate through the air under
its own power. Unlike fixed-wing aircraft or helicopters, airships are
lighter-than-air (LTA) typically using helium to stay aloft. Airships are
equipped with engines for power generation whereas aerostats are tethered to
the ground, by a cable that tends to provide power. An airship’s main component
is one or more gasbags, a lightweight skin containing a lifting
gas to provide buoyancy. The envelope of an airship may form a single
gas bag, or may contain a number of internal gas-filled cells. An airship also
has engines and crew and/or payload accommodation, typically housed in one or
more "gondolas" suspended below the envelope. Airships are widely
used for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, communication, law
enforcement, border patrolling, weather forecasting, and coast guarding. The
driving factors for the drift
The airship
market has been experiencing massive growth in the recent years owing to
the low operational cost and high competitive advantages of airship systems
over aerostat systems and surveillance aircrafts. Also, Growing need for
persistent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance worldwide is driving
the global airships market. Moreover, increasing demand of airships for rapid
communication and climatic research is boosting the demand for airships market.
However, operational hazards and availability of alternatives such as aerostat
systems and unmanned aerial vehicles are some of the factors restraining the
market growth. Growth in the deployment of airships in military and defense
forces are opening new opportunities for the participants in airships system
manufacturing.
The global airships market is segmented by method of
construction, by class, by payload type, and by geography. Based on the method
of construction, the market can be segmented into rigid, semi- rigid, and
non-rigid airships. On the basis of airship class, the market can be segmented
into small, medium and large class airships. The market can also be classified
on the basis of different payload, such as electro-optics, communication
intelligence, thermal imaging camera, electronic intelligence, surveillance
radar, and an inertial navigation system.

On the basis of applications,
the market can be classified into military, homeland security, commercial and
environmental research. The market segments in terms of geographical regions
include North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle-East and
Africa (MEA). The airships market in North America is anticipated to witness
high growth due to the wide adoption of airship systems in military and homeland
security applications in the region.
Industry participants dominating the global airship market with
the most significant developments include Airborne Industries, GEFA-FLUG GmbH,
Hybrid Air Vehicles Ltd., Information Systems Laboratories Inc., Lindstrand
Technologies, RosAeroSystems s.r.a., Skyship Services Inc., Westdeutsche
Luftwerbung GmbH, and Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH among others.
