The pressurized hot-air airship evolved directly from the hot-air balloon – its envelope is supported by air warmed up by liquid propane. A water-cooled engine gives to this aeromobile what is missing in a balloon: the freedom to navigate and direct it, which, along with its slow speed (15 knots), makes it the perfect instrument for advertising. Airships can fly at very low altitudes over towns, motorways, fairs, soccer fields, rivers crossing a city, races of any kind etc. -- or any other site chosen by the client, provided that there is an appropriate spot for take-off (take-off, like landing, is vertical).
 

TIM spa, a leading mobile-communication company in Italy and in the world, has accepted our proposal of using a hot-air airship to increase its company awareness and to support organized public events and shows in order to reach out directly to potential customers. The cheerful advertising slogan chosen by TIM “Living without frontiers” (Vivere senza confini), has strengthened the image of this promotional giant.

During the summer, the “i-TIM TOUR”, a performing and musical event which touched 10 important Italian cities (see pictures), the airship was always reliable and was flown even in places where flight conditions seemed prohibitive. People living in those places will remain with vivid memories of this ship of the skies.

 

Obviously, besides flying over towns and along coasts, the AS 105 GD airship could concentrate its activity around stadiums with an appropriate spot for take-off/landing or over skiing races, cycle races, motorways and rivers. Practically anywhere!

The AS 105 GD airship is the winning solution to promoting products and popularizing a company’s name and image. It was expressly designed for advertising purposes and can carry up to 4 people on board while granting a good maneuverability on the ground. It can be prepared for operation in less than one hour with a crew of 4/5 people.

The standard sizes are: length 42 mt; height 16 mt; diameter 13 mt; envelope weight 250 kg; gondola weight 230 kg.
