Outdoor Remote Controlled Airships and Blimps from Ratsinc.net
Our Solution ~ The Most Corporate-Friendly R/C Airship in the Market of ''Outdoor Remote Controlled Airships and Blimps''
Ratsinc has developed a beautiful line of High Performance Airships know as the Regulus 3.50 Class. It`s a very sleek quarter-scaled rendition that is muti-roled and has been specifically refined for the tasks of On-Site Remote Pilot Operations.
When breaking down an Outdoor Remote Controlled Airship into its main componets, let's consider 3 main groups.
1) The Flight Vessel or more commonly known as the Airship or Blimp.
2) The Flight Propulsion System or more commonly known as the Gondola.
3) The Flight Controls or more commonly known as the Tail Feathers.
1.) The Flight Vessel.
The Regulus Class Airships have graceful aero-genetics that have evolved directly from our involvement with all facets of flight and design.
Experience dictated that a true aerodynamic Blimp Vessel was only possible utilizing a 12 Gore(individual panels)technique. This is not only the strongest approach to the Helium Vessels overall integrity, but it gives the Airship a majestic appearance that is very streamlined and aero-efficient.
Our Blimp Vessels are constructed from a very robust single layer lamanent. The main advantage to our single layer approach is the marriage of any ''load points'' to the Vessel itself. Load points are locations that are placed about the actual Blimp Vessel. We utilize these physical connections between the vessel and 'undersling assembly' so that we can securely attach the Gondola, Cameras and Mooring lines, etc. During the actual construction, ''Nylon handles'' are first sewn into the ''Gore Panels'' where they are required, then we reinforce the surrounding area with further material followed by a bonded inner layer. This mandates a secure, long lasting and permanent location of the ''load points''.
This special material also boasts Ultraviolet protection in both UVA and UVB, it's flexible in freezing conditions and can also be folded thousands of times. Most importanly it has the very best in ''Helium Anti-leaching properties''and it's also very easy to clean and repair. Overall, this product is the absolute finest and the workmanship is second to none and we've employed this technique for many years now all without fail.
You can be assured this is the very best scenario for a light weight, long-lasting and maintenance free flight vessel. In short, in a market where there is good, better and best......we are the latter.
Quick-change Corporate Branding may be attached to the vessel by means of hard points, which are placed about both sides of the Airship. Also, we can directly apply your logo or message, and we can completely ``brand fit`` a custom airship with your corporate colors and messages through out the complete airship.
