Dragon Dream
Dragon Dream (FAA registration: N866ML) is an experimental lighter than air (LTA) cargo rigid airship built by Worldwide Aeros Corp as a half-scale proof of concept prototype for a design which the manufacturer calls the " Aeroscraft". The development and design has been funded by the US government through the military Walrus HULA and then the "Pelican" projects. Design The hull of the Dragon Dream has a flattened elliptic cross-section. Buoyancy control is managed by pumping helium gas from the internal gas bag and compressing it into a storage cell, the reduction in lifting volume leading to a loss of buoyancy. The system can vary the airship's lift by 3,000–4,000 lb. The manufacturer uses the phrase "Control Of Static Heaviness" for this technology. ;Specifications Operational history The airship was completed in 2013 and, after extensive systems tests in the construction hangar at MCAS Tustin, was granted an airworthiness certificate by the US Federal Aviation Admini ...
