Features

Full container crane operations

The large payload capacities of AV-10 and more powerful engines allow them to carry and operate full containers for use in remote or difficult-to-access locations. This improves the efficiency and speed of container shipping operations, as AV-10 would be able to move quickly and easily between different locations without infrastructure.

Single pallet crane operations

The deployment of single pallets with a crane allows for operating more quickly and accurately without infrastructure, giving AV-10 a logistic advantage in remote locations.

ALS – Automatic Landing System

The use of an automatic landing system in the AV10 improves the safety and efficiency of airship operations, assisting the ground crew and providing a level of automation and control in landing and take-off operations.



AV10 Airship: A Green Transport Solution

The use of hybrid and diesel engines with biofuel on the AV10 reduces the carbon footprint of the airship compared to traditional aircraft utilizing petroleum fuel. Hybrid engines, which combine an electric motor with a traditional internal combustion engine, are more efficient and produce fewer emissions than traditional engines. Biofuels, such as biodiesel, are also cleaner and more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels, as they are made from renewable sources.

The AV-10’s environmental vision extends beyond propulsion. Designed for cargo operations with minimal ground infrastructure, it offers the potential to reduce reliance on new roads and extensive loading facilities. This approach could help limit disturbance to surrounding landscapes while improving access to remote communities and essential supplies.

From humanitarian deliveries to premium passenger journeys, the AV-10 is being developed to open new opportunities in logistics and tourism. Its versatile design gives operators a platform to explore underserved routes, connect hard-to-reach destinations, and create distinctive travel experiences where access has traditionally limited what is possible.
