Abstract

The object of this invention is to provide thruster control for an airship. The use of thrusters (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26) at the bow and stem of an airship for control of the direction, attitude, and orientation of such an airship is described. The thruster utilizes an electric motor (50) or a gas turbine (160, 162) for power. In the electric motor (50) embodiment, the motor (50) utilizes two contra-rotating rotors (110, 112) which each drive a separate and contra-rotating propeller (132, 134) to generate the controlling jet of air. Thrusters (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26) are arranged in pairs at the top, bottom, and each side of the bow and stem of the airship. Lifting thrusters (152, 154) directed downwardly and located above the longitudinal extent of the hull are provided to augment the static lift capability of the airship when under heavy load.
