E-GREEN TECHNOLOGIES - 21st CENTURY AIRSHIPS, INC. SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES INFLATION OF THE WORLDS LARGEST AIRSHIP

New massive airship to create jobs and fill critical needs in defense, homeland security, communications, surveillance, and disaster relief.

Montgomery, Alabama (May 19, 2010) E-Green Technologies (EGT) - 21st Century Airships, the leading developers of state-of-the-art technologies for mid, high altitude and heavy-lift airships, announced today that it has successfully completed its inflation test of the Bullet 580, which is now, the worlds largest airship.

The 6-hour airship inflation took place this week inside Garrett Coliseum, Montgomery, Ala., one of the few facilities large enough to host the operation. The 235-foot long, 65-foot in diameter Bullet 580, is designed to carry payloads of up to 2,000 pounds to 20,000 feet, and a dash speed of 80 mph. Payloads are carried inside outer envelope, which is one-sixteenth of an inch thick, but 10 times stronger than steel. The material is a new type of Kevlar, which is used to make bulletproof vests. The airship's engines are mounted on the fuselage.

E-Green Technologies, which acquired 21st Century Airships in November 2009, holds 18 patents and has successfully built and flown 14 prototypes to test new inventions. The Bullet 580 is the first of the companys airships in production for commercial use. The first flight of the Bullet 580 is planned for later this year and will carry a joint NASA and Old Dominion University agricultural and geophysical payload that will measure moisture content in soil.

Airships offer cost-efficient operations versus fixed-wing aircraft, and post great potential for vast cargo capacity, heavy lift, and the ability to take-off and land vertically with forward thrust in the air from engines for great maneuverability.

The Bullet 580 is a multifunctional airship intended to fly at very high altitudes for long periods of time serving as a stratellite for communications relays, broadcast communications, missile defense warning, airspace/maritime surveillance and control, position and navigation (GPS), weather monitoring, battlefield environmental monitoring, electronic countermeasures, and weapons platforms as well as geophysical surveys and other military, and civilian uses.

The commercial production of the 580 will create hundreds of needed jobs for the textile industry in Alabama, where it is manufactured, as well as host the potential to create jobs for aerospace and aviation professionals in Central Florida and Northern California, the two areas E Green Technologies is considering for operational centers.

Airships have undergone surprisingly little evolution throughout their more than 150-year history, and this is what makes our E-Green proprietary designs so desirable to government and commercial customers, explains E-Green Technologies Chairman and CEO, Michael Lawson. Our airships are radically different designs that move beyond the performance limitations of traditional blimps or zeppelins by combining advanced technology with simple construction and the ability to fuel with algae, protecting our environment. We have a great team which has produced an amazing product that will, most importantly, save lives.

  • at 0:14 looks like a giant used condom. oter than that i want one.

  • 膨らますのも複雑な手順のある一仕事なら、たたむときとかどうす­るんだろ。

    たたむのも一仕事?

    運用したとき、地上への帰還、整備、再飛行の手間どうすんだろ?
