E Green Technologies, Inc. is an emerging leader in the development and production of helium-filled, lighter-than-air vehicles for surveillance, advertising, military, communications, cargo/passenger transport, and other applications. The company is a Georgia corporation formed in April 2008, and its executive offices are located at 25 McClellan Parkway, Kellyton, Alabama.

E-Greens airships are a major leap in technology from traditional lighter-than-air vehicles much in the same way helicopters added unique capabilities to fixed wing aircraft. Advances made from 18 current patents allow E-Green to offer spherical, as well as bullet-shaped design, with vertical takeoff and landing and five times the lift capability of conventional airships on the market today.  They hover, spin and rotate on an axis, and no longer require wind to maintain stability. And, they are green fueled by algae and/or diesel with later versions to run on a hybrid electric engine.

E-Greens airships offer the greatest value proposition for defense, homeland security, disaster relief, remote sensing, communications, missile defense warning, surveillance and navigation, weather monitoring and other needed capabilities, combining low cost and high performance.

E-Green Technology 21st Century Airships (EGT) holds the current world record for high altitude flight (22,000 ft.). E-Green plans to break this record in the next few months by bringing to market the new Bullet 580 airship, 235 feet long, 105 feet wide, 90 feet tall and 65 feet in diameter, making it the largest operating airship in the world.  The Bullet 580 has a unique design of seven internal helium envelopes that control lift while the outer envelope is completely non-rigid and contained with simple ambient air much like your everyday moon bounce found at a child's birthday party.  The algae fuel is so safe you could actually drink it, if you were so inclined. 

The first inflation of the E-Greens Bullet 580 Airship occurred at Garrett Coliseum in Montgomery, Alabama, on Monday, May 17, 2010. Test flights will begin in early summer, 2010. With these flights, the Bullet 580 will look to shatter the world record for airship flight altitude and provide a capability never before achievable by airships. Currently there exists no efficient manned or unmanned system for mid- or high- altitude and long duration flight, between 50,000-75,000 feet with the capability to stay airborne for weeks to months, providing a stable sustainable platform.

  • Giant joint

  • by opening the roof.probably

  • but why

  • Everybody who talks about penises and condoms have some sexual problems.

  • Just a big blow up job from a company that has no hangar. If you like blimps or the new hybrid air vehicles, try my company site for more information: 3w dott hybridairship dott net

  • damn, that's a big penis

  • So its a helium airship filled with compressed air???? And this is not the biggest blimp??? What about the graff szepplin or the hindenberg??????? I suppose thats outside the WORLD of the USA

  • What's my condom doing there

  • Okey firstly it should be called "the world's largest modern airship" because the Hindenburg was the LARGEST in the world and nobody in these days would dare to build one in similiar scale. I'm not being a smartass, all credit to the people in this vid but the title should have been better. But I personally think that airships would be a great transport for a public too because they have been used in the transatlantic traffic in the 1920's and 1930's so why not today? Go figure.

  • so how do you get it out of the hanger?
