Today we would like to point you to a new airship Company and design. The project is presumably called opération Alizé the project Website is located at http://www.operation-lta.com/ it's half English half French the sites are not translated word for word, so I assume the French is the more current half of the site. So as stated in the title the airship is going to be lenticular, you can check out pictures on the Website that give you an impression, there is also a video available to watch, it shows the first prototype of the airship doing a test flight. As to specifications the website mentions the following for the final aircraft:
| Diameter | 100 m |
| Height | 35 m |
| Flight altitude | 500 m aboved ground |
| Maximum altitude | 2 000 m above s.l. |
| Cruising speed | 110 km/h |
| Max. speed | 130 km/h |
| Range | 4 000 km |
| Available volume | 2 000 to 5 000 m |
It's a very interesting concept and we are looking forward to hear more from this project in the future, we sure will be following the development of this project.
Thanks to Charles Luffman for pointing that out.
